Home:

I guess the video is self explanatory really. It's just about educating the youth and making positive changes :)

Impoverished Communities:

In South Africa there are masses of informal settlements and almost all of them have community leaders which will be easy enough to track down. Once you can explain to them what it's about and how it works (creating independence) then they can create their own little workshops within their communities thus helping and supporting each other. Communities such as these are great at supporting each other and since they're "neighbors" they can quite literally go next door for help.

There will be some challenges i.e. high data costs in South Africa however with some planning and possible assistance these can be overcome. A quick thought for example is to create a little internet (Steemit) hub where members of the community can go and do their thing (post, interact etc.)

What I believe would be exceptional and a possible turning point for the concept is if we can get some whales to create a post of sorts telling the people about their success on the platform. Money talks!!! This can be discussed further should there be some interest from the Whales.

Lastly, I believe the tag is quite important since it will help them connect with each other as well as others that would like to show their support to them. So yes, that's the basic concept in a nutshell. I will do a more detailed post on the topic however I would appreciate some other input as well.

Corporates:

Corporates, especially multinationals that already spend tons of money on advertising could be targeted as well. Since these companies have the financial backing it could be a really nice cash injection into the platform. So as with everyone else they'll create their own account where they can create posts. Whether it be marketing adds or whatever it may be. If they put the capital in they'll quickly pick up a large following that will support them. I do believe the community will be judging them accordingly since they have teams of people running their advertising and promotional departments however if they come to the platform and operate according to the communities interest they in turn will be looked after.

Further to this the capital investment they're putting in earns interest and has major potential to grow in value therefore it's not JUST capital that's being tied up.

This is also being explained in a nutshell really which can be brainstormed and explored in more detail. Approaching companies will require a well crafted pitch :):) I do deal with corporates myself however something like this might be a little out of my league :):)

So that's it!!! Thanks for watching and/or reading :)

CHEERS!!!
