Elbi and The Huffington Post are partnering up, with you, to help change the world as part of your daily routine. Little actions. Big difference.
Today, you can do your bit for 3 of the 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development. All you need is the Elbi app and a couple of minutes.
Elbi is a global platform for social good, connecting charities and kind-hearted people to make a big difference with little actions.

- They'll use your messages to form next week's Girls Club discussion
- You get a message back from the girls themselves saying how you inspired them
