Donating $1M to Make a Real Difference: Which Cause Would You Choose?

If you had the option of donating $1M to any cause you liked in the hopes of making a real difference. Which cause would you choose and why?

Myself because I am the only hope this planet has

I'd give it to Dr. Yunus.

Because he does not hand out free money, he makes the poor pay it back.

Wow, good choice. I'd never heard of the guy, but a quick Google has earned Dr. Yunus a lot of respect in my eyes.

A google search makes you respect a guy?

Obviously the results of what I found and the history of what he has achieved is what impressed me. But thanks the the invaluable input :)

Wow. This guy is impressive. I take it the loans aren't even interest free? Its amazing really, but so simple. Sometimes the most amazing things seem so simple after they're figured out though. Much respect to Dr. Yunus.
