<h1>Grassroots Economics</h1> Who?Grassroots Economics is a non-profit foundation dedicated to empowering marginalized communities by enabling them to create sustainable, self-reliant economies. Through collaboration with local leaders, small businesses, and community members, we facilitate resource coordination and foster economic resilience. <div class="ql-video-wrapper"><iframe class="ql-video" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zNfJWXvezIk?showinfo=0"></iframe></div> What?The project focuses on implementing Commitment Pooling protocols and Community Inclusion Currencies, inspired by traditional practices like Mweria. These systems empower communities to pool resources, share commitments, and exchange goods and services without relying solely on national currency. By utilizing decentralized tools like the Sarafu Network, communities create digital vouchers that represent their commitments and resources, enhancing local trade and mutual support. Grassroots Economics seeks to connect people to their own abundance by supporting them in pooling their commitments or resources together in the form of Community Asset Vouchers - which are blockchain based credit obligations backed by the goods and services of community groups in vulnerable communities in Kenya and growing to other countries. Our vision is of communities creating their own medium of exchange linked to local values and connected to other communities via <a href="https://grassecon.org/commitment-pooling" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Commitment Pooling</a> and creating an emergent, healthy polycentric economic system. Our work is also anchored in Syntropic Agroforestry as the basis for local economies and sustainable food production. <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmTWsRs9chM5PBG59E2Ukthpi8qJ8c7HL8YJDSRJ5eSBM2"> Why?Grassroots Economics was established to address the challenges faced by communities experiencing economic exclusion and instability. Many people struggle to access basic needs due to reliance on unstable national currencies. By rediscovering ancestral resource coordination practices and integrating them with modern digital tools, Grassroots Economics helps communities unlock their collective potential, reduce poverty, and build resilient, equitable economies. Where?The foundation operates primarily in Kenya, working with rural villages, urban slums, and refugee communities. Its impact has extended to various communities across East Africa and beyond, creating scalable models adaptable to diverse socio-economic and cultural contexts. <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmfFE2M9AZjR22k1VdzpLHQj3wokfjmBRwgPgrc4PjzbPv"> We've reached over 300 vouchers world wide and 40 pools connecting them!

Helpers Social  Development Foundation

In many rural communities across Nigeria, children are eager to learn but lack the basic materials needed to succeed. At the same time, access to financial tools and knowledge about blockchain remains limited—especially among youth. This project aim to bridging the gap and also educate young people about cryptocurrency.<img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmSkfJxzqBe4X7HwDohZbxm4cVDCRK6SnUr2iSQge7SXrF"><img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmcN9SUmkgSgZWE2zbWKbmoPvPzKdxxwiRhsHuMvGkN4Bh">Through the <a href="https://giveth.io/project/basic-school-supplies-and-crypto-education-initiative" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Basic School Supplies and Crypto Education Initiative</a>, Helpers Social Development Foundation is providing:Essential free school supplies — including notebooks, pens, backpacks, sandals, uniform, and learning materials — to support classroom engagement.Crypto and Web3 literacy workshops — teaching students how to set up digital wallets, understand the basics of blockchain technology, and explore the power of decentralized finance (DeFi). Our dual-impact initiative focuses on:<ul><li>Promoting educational access in underserved communities.</li><li>Fostering early financial literacy and inclusion through blockchain knowledge.</li><li>Introducing the crypto ecosystem as a gateway to real-world applications of crypto for social good.</li></ul>We aim to reach 1,000+ students and youth in 2025 through school outreach programs, community events, and training sessions. <h3>Why This Initiative Matters:</h3><ul><li>Investing in education breaks the cycle of poverty.</li><li>Introducing blockchain literacy early prepares youth for future opportunities.</li><li>Providing tangible materials alongside digital learning ensures holistic impact.</li></ul>With your support, we can distribute free learning kits and organize inclusive crypto literacy sessions across multiple rural communities. Why we are advocating about crypto and how to use it to fund public goodsSupporting this initiative will help close the gap by helping more underprivileged children to stay in school and learn about cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrency education for young people help to&nbsp;redefine how young people engage with and understand the dynamic world of cryptocurrencies and how it can help to fund public goods. Helpers Foundation team believed that education remains the best tool to inform the public about cryptocurrency's impact because it helps people make informed decisions, avoid scams, and understand the broader economic and technological implications. Education helps demystify concepts like blockchain, decentralization, and smart contract. Education helps the public grasp how these changes effects jobs, businesses, and financial stability. <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmSmSUSgHKi7pjQicnk6yUUPgrseEAKdc6rcbtVFnNmMTL"><h2>Why Cryptocurrency education for young people is important</h2> <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmerFf14iTWwaf3aHVJ5eWnaCSTdm5HEbqfBmdJUiBPmeA">Awareness and understanding- Many people still do not fully grasp how cryptocurrencies work, their benefits, and risks. The program hope to host events for young people and different stakeholders to educate them on how crypto can be used for public good. This project aims to educate youth about cryptocurrency and how it can be used for public goods. Educating young people on overview of the history of the first cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin, Celo network, Solana, Base, Arbitrum network, Stellar, Ethereum and how it came to be the most valued digital asset. Educating young people, the concept of buying and selling it, as well as the risks and rewards of investing in cryptocurrency and stay away from financial fraud. Supporting this initiative will help to increase youths understanding about cryptocurrencies. How to encourage more people to start accepting cryptoDue to fraudulent activities being committed by some of the crypto user, government and parents discouraged their youth and citizens from using cryptocurrency. Proper education on the use of crypto, and how it can be used for public good, will encourage those who is against cryptocurrency to have a rethink of their action against it.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At Helpers Social Development Foundation, we believed that lasting change happened when children and youths have access to their social needs. We are accepting cryptocurrencies because we believed that crypto will help us to restore and build abandoned public institutions. <h2>What Helpers Foundation have achieved with cryptocurrency donations</h2> With the help of our crypto donors, we established three (3) nursery and primary schools in Enugu State with the aim to offer high quality free and low-cost education and mentoring to underprivileged children in Nigeria.We believed we can build a system more than the government because we know our people's needs and how to solve them. Why not support our initiative? What we have achieved through donations received.<ol><li>We Built toilet facilities in public schools using open defecation. We constructed the toilet facility with the aim to end open defecation in those schools in order to prevent children and teachers from contracting diseases while learning.</li><li>Classroom building ongoing project.</li><li>Solar-powered classroom</li><li>Constructed solar powered clean water in schools.</li><li>Distribution of free school supplies in public schools to prevent underprivileged children from missing or dropping out of school.</li><li>we established Helpers Foundation Nursery and primary school in the year 2021 in the Oji-River area of Enugu State with the aim to offer free education and mentoring to underprivileged children in Oji-River.</li><li>Child marriage and sexual abuse prevention campaign and more.</li></ol> Challenges affecting children in NigeriaThis is truly a trying time for underprivileged Nigerians as many people have lost their jobs due to Covid-pandemic and economic hardship. 18.5 million children dropped out of school, and 10.5 million are girls, they struggle daily for not having the tools needed to help them in school. Poverty regardless of level is linked to reduced academic achievement. Students who live in poverty come to school every day without the proper tools for success, as a result, they are commonly behind their classmates physically, socially, and emotionally. Help us to reach out to millions of out-of-school children. With your donations, more children will be reached. The Solution<img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmWPPbP7S76ytDv19RKe7SaLg9L6YHNSxJhEZESQy9y6pz">How can we use crypto to narrow the performance gap in children's education? Better funding for out-of-school children's education will help to reach out to those government left behind.&nbsp;Donating for children's basic needs, like education, school food programs, classroom building, classroom funding, mentoring programs for children, healthcare support at school, and supplies.&nbsp; &nbsp;This initiative will educate young people on the important of cryptocurrency and how it can be used to sponsor their education and fund other public goods. Accelerating youth knowledge of technology and financial literacy while building leaders, innovators, and creators for a decentralized future.&nbsp;&nbsp;At the end of the event, all the participants will be invited on a day event to guide them to set up crypto wallet address. Funds will in Arbitrum network, Ethereum etc will be sent to the wallet address of all the participant to sponsor their initiatives. Crypto education for young people will assist them in coming up with new ideas on how to effectively use cryptocurrency for public good.&nbsp; Long-Term Impact <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmegxSFofK11wN2mGrgoRth3E2vcLN2vAKCYTTvSds4dDz">Your support of this project will have a lifetime impact on the people and communities.

At Eco Moyo, we limit classes to a maximum of 25 students to ensure quality education, a caring environment&nbsp;and that every child is truly seen and supported. In a community affected by poverty, where challenges like alcoholism, abuse&nbsp;and teenage pregnancies are common, we aim to be a safe haven for children.<img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f5cb61_eb782f1f662d49918baa50b48f8a091d~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_308,h_308,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto/Untitled.jpg"><h4>Free school uniforms and materials</h4>The costs of&nbsp;uniforms, materials&nbsp;and school fees can prevent children from attending school simply because their families&nbsp;can’t afford them. At Eco Moyo, we remove this barrier so that children have&nbsp;the opportunity to learn.&nbsp;The only “school fee” our parents are paying is to help is collect&nbsp;firewood for the school kitchen three times a year.&nbsp;<img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f5cb61_0fd8a1ad590d4113851395e6f59d560d~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_308,h_308,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto/Untitled.jpg"><h4>Nutritious breakfast and lunch</h4>We provide breakfast and lunch every day to both our students and staff. For some students, these meals can be the only food they get throughout the day,&nbsp;making them essential for their health and learning.&nbsp;Having meals at school means students don’t have to go home to uncertain meals or spend the whole day hungry.&nbsp;<img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f5cb61_eaad4cb671f347c78c17c23aa95166a5~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_308,h_308,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto/Untitled.jpg"><h4>Extracurricular clubs and activities</h4>At Eco Moyo, our extracurricular clubs are an important part of the education. They offer students opportunities to grow personally and develop essential skills beyond the classroom.&nbsp;Through activities like&nbsp;football, taekwondo, arts and crafts, agriculture-computer- and&nbsp;English clubs, our students learn teamwork, communication&nbsp;and problem-solving skills while exploring their passions, building confidence&nbsp;and developing a positive self-image. <h3>In 2025 there are 200 children attending Eco Moyo&nbsp;</h3><ul><li>On average our classes have 25 students per teacher.</li><li>All our students live within the geographical boundaries of Dzunguni Village.&nbsp;</li><li>Our youngest students in PP1 (pre-primary 1) are only 4-5 years old when they start school.</li><li>Coming from families who most often only speak their tribe language Giriama - they start learning both Swahili and English straight away.&nbsp;</li></ul> <h3>Continuous support for former students through Junior Secondary school.</h3> <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmP6MvtBrU4BX9WrW8qNHrwc9S44znRcirFeAyDkdbUwmt">​This year, thanks to a generous sponsor, we’ve started supporting our former students as they continue their education in junior secondary (class 7-9). We work with local schools in the area and cover all costs for our former Eco Moyo students, including school fees, admission fees, exam fees&nbsp;and school uniforms. For schools that offer lunch, we provide this as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;Since class 7-9 are&nbsp;no longer a part of primary education, the fees are generally higher.&nbsp;We’ve seen that some of our graduates couldn’t continue to junior secondary due to financial challenges, so this support plays a key role in helping them move forward in their education. <h3>How Eco Moyo is different</h3> Although Kenya implemented a&nbsp;free education policy&nbsp;in 2003, there are many hidden costs which makes attending school difficult for children from low-income families. Eco Moyo is a private primary school - without any fees. This is a table of examples of costs in schools around our area. <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmPT3Kwt5WyzhW9b2aauRx1cR6HE9CaxNbVZEG6EP9dLdk"> <a href="https://www.ecomoyo.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.ecomoyo.com/</a>

Helpers Social Development Foundation: Providing Climate Change Education + Action, and Increasing Climate Resilience for Underserved Communities in Nigeria. Education and action are needed to create sustained change in local communities. Everyone at&nbsp;Helpers Social Development Foundation&nbsp;Learning Centers, workshops, public schools, and listeners to our weekly radio program, receive education and messages about the need to protect our environment. Our community-led foundation works with rural, low-income communities in Nigeria. We run projects that directly address climate change such as solar system-powered electricity, solar-powered water, tree, and shrub planting, clean-up campaigns, and digital skill centers to increase climate resilience, especially for young people, women and youth. Individual action is encouraged e.g. buying and planting trees to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Mindsets need to change and everyone needs to take action to address climate change that is increasingly impacting lives in Nigeria through drought, decreased agricultural production and reduced food security, health and nutrition. <h2>Challenge</h2>Millions of Nigerians lack knowledge of what they can do to help with climate change and that what they do will make a difference. People need education as well as projects that they can be involved in. Our projects are locally led and include greening Nigeria and cleaning up/preventing pollution. People also need role models of environmental activism, both individuals and organizations. The Helpers Social Development Foundation learning models environmental awareness and action for all people. <h2>Solution</h2>This project will educate Nigerians on environmental issues and provide grassroots-level action. It will give funding to community-led tagriculture farming, ree/shrub planting programs that reach 8 provinces where AIL works, through Learning Centers, workshops, and events. Other projects are environmental clean-up and pollution reduction education. For example, people will learn not to litter, burn tires, or other high-polluting items.In addition, our skills training courses focus on empowering young people, women, and youth to increase their economic opportunities and build climate resilience among those most vulnerable to climate impacts. <h2>Road Map and Metrics</h2>• Provide climate education to 500 students every year in our primary school, community center,, and workshops• Utilize our solar water pump and well to provide water for 400 members of our community.• 80 Empower young people, women, and youth annually through our digital skills training centers so that they can build climate resilience as agricultural production decreases and climate change threatens traditional livelihoods.• Partner with The Solar Foundation to develop a solar-powered Public Charging Station for our community to charge their mobile phones and devices.• Construct water facilities in rural communities without access to water.• Install solar systems in communities without electricity. <h2>About Us</h2>Helpers Social Development Foundation&nbsp;is a duly registered nonprofit and nonpolitical organization in Nigeria that was formed in 2016 and officially registered with the Nigeria Corporate Affairs Commission on 27th June 2019.The executive director, Okeke Chidi Chinwendu and his wife established the NGO with a mission to reach millions of less privileged Africans who are facing the same problems he faced while growing up in a small village in Nigeria.

They receive individualistic attention that takes into account their delay in joining school and their traumatic past. Five grades are learning under temporary shelters or trees. This does not provide a proper conducive environment for learning. This project costing $15,000.00 seeks support for construction and equipping one classroom. <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmXY6XDTXwJCw4HrQmpJdNpY7BmJp6zksrPEaoW8r94R8Z"><img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmVcBiM8p2jDhpg3NrFLw3MJwKVVpbeq3fhKfwhGecWgD4">

Our documentary plans to educate communities about predatory practices used by traffickers and establish a blueprint for Nigerians to leverage Web3 to address local issues.&nbsp; The Problem: A Human Trafficking Crisis in Nigeria Nigeria remains an origin point, throughway, and destination country for human trafficking. <a href="https://www.globalslaveryindex.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Recent estimates</a> suggest victims number over 1.3M, ranking Nigeria in the 81st percentile compared to other countries. <a href="https://www.iom.int/news/voodoo-curses-keep-victims-trafficking-under-bondage" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">In 2017</a> over 75% of women migrants arriving in Italy were both victims of sexual exploitation and hailed from Edo State, where Benin City is the capital.

Crowdfunding a Documentary We seek to build on our initial coverage (<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bj0Iw78jAQfGSEliNeAn5wYfVbww1Gry/view" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">article</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIqvDBtpMgE" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">video</a>) and produce a feature-length documentary, The Lost Children of Benin City. Out project partnered with Singularity Media, who has experience placing content on major streaming platforms. A documentary would serve the function of sensitizing Nigerian communities, teaching them how to avoid tactics employed by human traffickers. Telling these stories pressures the government to do more, and also inspires global audiences and NGOs to commit resources.

We are harnessing the power of Web3 technology to address Africa’s most pressing challenges — from education for out-of-school children to clean energy, safe water, climate action, and poverty reduction. Every donation is recorded on-chain, allowing donors to track their contributions in real time and see the communities they empower. Public goods — such as free education, solar-powered drinking water, and school infrastructure — are the foundation for sustainable development. Yet, they are often underfunded. By giving through Giveth platform, you help close this gap and ensure these resources remain free and accessible to all. <h3>Why Give to Africa Projects Funding Public Goods?</h3>Public goods — like free education vulnerable, clean drinking water, healthcare access, and climate-friendly infrastructure — benefit everyone, but they are often underfunded because no single person or business can capture all the benefits. In many African communities, the absence of these essentials keeps millions trapped in cycles of poverty.By giving to Africa projects that fund public goods, you are: <ol><li>Creating lasting change – Your donation builds schools, provides solar energy, and ensures safe water that serve generations, not just one moment.</li><li>Reaching the underserved – Many rural African communities are far from government and corporate support; your gift fills this gap.</li><li>Protecting shared resources – Climate action projects (like tree planting and clean energy) safeguard the environment for everyone.</li><li>Multiplying impact – Public goods benefit entire communities, so your single contribution impacts hundreds or even thousands of lives.</li><li>Ensuring transparency – With Web3/blockchain tracking, you can see where your donation goes and what it achieves.</li></ol>When you fund public goods in Africa, you’re not just giving charity — you’re investing in a stronger, more self-reliant future for millions.Your contribution today builds the Africa we all want tomorrow
