easy to use, has a great cause and has one of highest % of money going directly to the causes due to it's lean organisation (hopefully it stays this way)
@bentossell Hi Ben, we are a small team from Berlin and together with the United Nations World Food Programme, we have developed a smartphone app that allows users like you and me to feed a child in need with a tap and just $ 50 cents. Today, more people die from hunger than from AIDS/HIV, malaria and tuberculosis combined. I was not aware of that before I joined the team and I find it quite striking. Most of us can spare 50 cents – and the idea that it can actually feed a child for a full day is incredible.
If we create enough buzz and momentum, we can „crowdsolve“ global hunger. Smartphone users outnumber hungry children by 20:1. imagine the impact we can have together!
We would love to hear your feedback and let me know if you want to know more. :)
@samcambridge Yes - we are part of the World Food Programme, which is where all donations go. ShareTheMeal’s operating costs are funded by a UN innovations grant as well as generous donations from businesses and philanthropists. There are transaction fees, but they are in the low 1 digit percentage range. So with the 50 cents we are able to feed one child for one day.
