The search engine giant Google has started  a new app that lets people give just $1 to different charities . Its 'One Today' app shows users a variety of charities every day. The home page says: "Open the app, and you're presented with several projects to which you can donate $1 with one click. It is that simple. And most people can afford the occasional $1 donation." At the moment, it is only available in the USA to people with Android mobile phones. Google hopes to start providing the service around the world soon. Google spokeswoman Maya Amoils blogged: " We look forward to continuing to improve the One Today experience and to growing our dynamic community with incredible non-profit organizations."

The One Today website explained that: "Google has a long-standing commitment to supporting non-profits and to doing good. One Today makes fundraising easy for non-profits; it also makes giving simple and fun for users." Google believes the app will mean people can learn more about non-profits. It also hopes people will share their favourite projects on social media sites so that more people donate. It adds: "Do good daily ! Engage with hundreds of non-profit projects each year and help contribute to their success." Ms Amoils wrote: "We are amazed by the great work non-profits do on a daily basis to make the world a better place, and we are thrilled to provide a new platform which helps. We hope people will enjoy donating and helping different charities."
