Google, the Internet search-engine company, has announced it will give more than twenty-five

million dollors in money and investment to help the poor. The company says the effort involves

using the power of information and technology to help people improve their lives.

Aleem Walji works for Google.org--the part of the company that gives money to good causes. He

said the company’s first project will help identify where infectious ( 传染性的) diseases are developing. In southeast Asia and Africa, for example, Google.org will work with partners to strengthen early-warning systems and take action against growing health threats.

Google.org’s second project will invest in ways to help small and medium-sized businesses

grow.

Walji says microfinance（小额信贷）is generally small, short-term loans that create few jobs. Instead, he says Google.org wants to develop ways to bring investors and owners together to create jobs and improve economic growth .

Google.org will also give money to help two climate-change programs announced earlier this year.

One of these programs studies ways to make renewable (再生的) energy less costly than coal-based energy. The other is examining the efforts being made to increase the use of electric cars.

The creators of Google have promised to give Google.org about one percent of company profits

and one percent of its total stock value every year. Aleem Walji says this amount may increase in

the future.
