Title: WorldCoin Well, let's build wells in Africa!
Post by: fairglu on January 24, 2014, 08:34:55 AM
Great initiative! This iswhat cryptos also need to be about.  ;D

WorldcoinWell.com (http://WorldcoinWell.com)

www.WorldcoinWell.com is a www.Worldcoinfoundation.org initiative to raise the necessary funds to build a well system in West Kenya, Africa for a community in need.

We’ve talked about the values that the Worldcoin community promotes, and now it’s time to act on those values.
This will be the first time a cryptocurrency community has taken on a project like this.

It is our hope that, with the success of this fundraiser, we can spur the community to take part in similar efforts to do some good. We have partnered with www.TheWaterProject.org to carry out the actual building of the well system, and they will be providing the community with progress updates as they become available.

Yes, learned about it at
http://worldcoinforum.org/topic/1240-lets-build-a-well-in-africa/

While it's indeed very worldcoin, it would be kinda nice to see altcoins "competing" on similar initiatives!

All,

I'm sorry to hear about the news that potentially the WDC funds haven't been redeemed yet for this well project.  I like what you guys are doing but don't own any WDC.  I do have a small Vertcoin investment and would like to contribute.

http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/2014/02/10/worldcoin-price-crash-problem-african-well-project/

I've setup a Vertcoin fundraiser to help you guys bridge any funding gaps you have in completion of the well.  I started off with a 100VTC donation and the rest of the community is joining in.

Hello,

I would gladly donate some coins too.
Unfortunately I don't have any WDC or VRT.

I offer NobleCoins and BTC.
(the Noble Movement is also funding the Water Project (https://thewaterproject.org/community/profile/jason-curby).)

Where can I send them?

EDIT:
I foun this: "Where can I donate?
Funding of this project has been finished as we reached the goal of $10,000! "

The well has not been funded supposedly.  I'm going to reach out to the builders tomorrow, they are based out of NH.

If you want to setup a BTC/NobleCoin donation it would be great.  Let's pool our resources and do something great as a community.  Even if we get to fund this one, let's do another one!
