If Windows for warships isn’t your thing, and you want to use your technology to make a difference you may be interested to know that Amnesty International has just launched a digital wallet service to allow you to donate to them via your mobile phone. Instead of calling a premium rate number you’ll be able to use PayPal rival LUUP to donate direct to them. Apparently the lower costs of doing things this way will let them gain an extra 15% on donations.

The first Amnesty International campaign where it will be possible to donate using LUUP will be related to a crisis campaign highlighting atrocities perpetrated against the people of Darfur. Launched today, this campaign will focus on the abuse of women’s rights in Darfur where rapes perpetrated by the state backed militia, the Janjawid, are a daily occurrence. Donations to the campaign will help Amnesty International to lobby the United Nations and the government of Sudan to deliver an effective peace-keeping force in the region as soon as possible.
