I mentioned this project in my post Finally, a window... some hope! If you are planning to set up a global scale social enterprise, this could be just the thing for you. I'm hoping it'll help the Urban Survival Project get off the ground. Here's a little more detail... Project 10 to the 100th
Google is looking for ideas that can help as many people as possible, in any way, and are committing $10m to launch them. You can submit your ideas and help vote on ideas from others. The deadline is Oct 20th and voting starts in January.
The categories are
- Community
- Opportunity
- Energy
- Environment
- Health
- Education
- Shelter
- Everything else
The criteria are
- Reach
- Depth
- Attainability
- Efficiency
- Longevity
I'm going to submit the Urban Survival Project's online volunteering platform iVolntr.org as an idea. So watch this space, and please vote for it!!
You can help now too. Just tell me what category you think USP / iVolntr should fit in and why?!
