The Social Impact Network
Non-profit · Open-source · Built for the common good
What if social media didn't suck? What would a platform look like if it were designed with the sole purpose of empowering people and the communities they live within? Here are a few of the things we came up with.
Finding causes to engage with in a practical way could be a lot easier. We offer a map. Literally. Search by cause, place, or skill. Browse what's happening locally or across the globe, in person or online. Add your own pin to the Impact Atlas and let aligned people find you, too.
Add your skills and interests to your profile and match with projects and people who need exactly what you bring. Take on a single task that helps someone out or join a team with a shared goal. Or start your own project and find the right people to help you make it happen. It's a bit like a dating site for changemakers.
Only have a little cash to spare? For many people, even a tiny donation can go a long way. Kamooni has a micro-crowdfunding option where people can ask for the small but crucial things. For bigger projects, being able to ask for volunteers and resources can also reduce one's budget considerably.
We need to take back control over human communication. Move away from the overload by channelling the right information through useful channels so it reaches those who need it. We've put a lot of effort into minimising distractions and making it easy to find who and what you need.
A single task can change someone's afternoon. A few hours can change someone's week. A small donation, well placed, can change someone's year.
Kamooni is designed for people who want to take action and work together on shared causes. If you want to drive change, Kamooni is for you.
Kamooni seeks to make it easier to do the thing you keep meaning to do, and harder to forget that it mattered.
Well, mainly through you, and people like you. People who support Kamooni as a paying member or help in other ways. You keep Kamooni open for everyone else.
However, since Kamooni is not owned by private investors, any surplus we create together can be returned to the community. Through the projects that you choose to support.
Our goal is not just to make ends meet, it is to give back as much as possible.
Glad you asked. Kamooni is very much in an early stage. We are still ironing out the kinks and testing new ideas. It's a very exciting time. The second half of this year will be dedicated to refining and improving the platform so we can launch with confidence and panache.
A great next step is to join our growing team of intrepid test pilots. If you have clear ideas for a better social environment, or want to join a community of people focused on action and creating the tools that will take us to the next level, this is the time to join.
Our current cohort
Whether you are a developer, a designer, a marketer, an activist, a volunteer or a fellow human being who senses there is a better way to do things, we'd love to have you. Let's be the system change we want to see. Together.
It's not about going viral.
It's about going vital.
