Thanks!

I'm a fan of officializing an organization that can manage it's own funds, but we'll need a lawyer/funds for that (if any lawyers out there read this, please sign up here). I think this is the fairest/most transparent.

Along that light, I'd be interested to know if Reddit, Inc. would be willing to help sponsor our little initiative.

We've had many volunteers sign up already, thanks everyone!

Note - this isn't my doing, I'm just taking what we've got and going with it. This is neonenergy's spreadsheet and once we've compiled info, we'll figure out what to do with it. Also, this is copy-pasta. Sorry.

(This part isn't copy-pasta) Just list what you're good at. If you're good at tutoring, maybe someone will simply need a tutor to do a bit of 1-on-1 tutoring (via webcam) somewhere. You never know. Everyone can help.

I have an extra buck or two if the project is good. My skills may be lacking, but my dollar is as good as anyone's. My strong back is made out of greenbacks.

Edit: If you feel the same, please sign up here (Same link as the one posted by neonenergy I just wanted it closer to the top). Under skills I put things like: funding, money, friends, etc. I don't have much, but I know every little bit helps.

We might need an English/German translator at some point!

Hey ugh__blah, (lol, reddit names are interesting to type out . . . )

I've gotten a lot of good feedback over the past week.

Here's the Quora question I asked with some great answers

Here's the website I slapped to sell this stuff for Christmas

Often working at a nonprofit is seen as the standard path if you want to make a difference. I did this myself, and now regret it, because it’s much easier to transition from the corporate sector into nonprofits than vice versa, so if you want to try both, it’s better to start outside of nonprofits, then enter later. Secondly, nonprofits are usually small and have a shoestring budget, which means there’s little room for training or career development compared to organisations in the for-profit sector. Thirdly, a significant fraction of social interventions don’t work, and this means that the nonprofits who implement these interventions don’t have any impact. I endorse the conclusions in this article by William MacAskill (author of 'Doing Good Better') - what do you think?

I highly recommend this book - Out of Poverty by Paul Polak (I was lucky to meet the man while attending Stanford's extreme affordability showcases a few years ago).

You won't be successful giving away these tools - we've done that for decades and have really fucked shit up (water lords in Bangaldesh, destroyed local economies for shoes, eyeglasses, agri equipment that's less than useless, etc.). Tools that have a cost will be valued - if priced appropriately, they will be valued enough to be maintained and still generate income. It's not a capitalistic thing, it's a "this method works" thing.

>I see too many companies getting in on this crap that end up turning a profit and not really helping the people they help help themselves.

This is my line of work - the one of social enterprise in the for profit world. The things I work on are on the expensive side, but have third party documentation of the product paying for itself in less than three months in some cases (faster than our prediction).

Profitability is one measure of sustainability. I see too many non profit ideas that are just horrible, but stay afloat because their source of funding isn't from the place that is itself using the tools but is instead from westerners that have no clue about the realities in the field. I'm not saying all non profits work this way, just pointing out that there are non profits that are not helping people either.
