4. 04 03. How? By creating a new and transparent internet platform for humanitarian initiatives (change agents), where visitors themselves can decide what causes to support or participate in, with expertise, time, money or otherwise, resulting in a direct effectiveness and increased personal commitment. This web-portal is therefore based on three major pillars of participation: 1. Free Exposure of Humanitarian Initiatives (change agents) .. People can list their new or existing sustainable projects free of charge to give international exposure to their humanitarian initiatives and organisations. 2. Multiple Participation .. The possibility for everyone interested to view, interact and participate in these projects through skills, services, time and/or financial contribution . 3. Direct Interaction .. All communication and interaction between projects and participants is direct, there is no middle figure, thus ensuring a 100% transparent and open system with direct channeling of information, skills, time and funds.
