Second Community Outreach; Project Covid-19: Supply to 50 (Now 70) families in Nigeria, Images {Donate👇}

First community outreach (Supply to 20 families in Nigeria) completed successfully
Sponsor: Bitcointalk Project Covid19

Date: 14/05/2020
We are going to provide supply for 20 families in Nigeria. I and Lauda worked it out with one of our Nigerian forum member (@CryptopreneurBrainboss). It was really hard to figure out the best solution to keep a balance of the essentials and number of families. We have spent 5 to 6 working hours in last three days to figure it out and came up with a budget of $35.50 per family. I will list the items we have decided to include in the supply. The details update will be updated on this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5246208.msg54432150#msg54432150

But right now we need to focus on collecting the funds. The total we are looking at $710.

May I request everyone to spread the word so that we can quickly collect the funds and send the money to our friend so that he can start planning for everything, from buying the supplies to giving them out to the families in need.

Cheers,

List of items:
Garri - 10kg = 3,000 Naira ($7.5)

Rice - 10kg = 5,000 Naira ($12.5)

Beans - 10kg = 2,000 Naira ($5)

Palm oil 2lt = 1,000naira (use to cook beans) $2.5

Groundnut oil 2lt = 1000naira (use to cook rice) $2.5

Onions - 3kg = 1,000 Naira $2.5

Salt 2pack = 200 Naira $0.5

Curry 12pack = 500 Naira $1.25

Tomatoes 12pack = 500 Naira $1.25

Total = 14,200 Naira = $35.5 for each family.
Overall Total = 284,000 Naira = $710

Item's will be bought in bulk (cartons,bags) and shared equally among the families

$1 = 400 +/- Naira, the price for the foodstuffs aren't constant so price might increase due to the closure of market because of the Corona virus pandemic.

Additional notes: As a result of the 24hrs lockdown and closure of all market in the state (You can read more on that here), I volunteered to use my personal funds to commence the purchase of the foodstuffs and if possible deliver them to the 20 families before the 24hrs lockdown restarts. The foodstuffs are already on the way and when I recieve them, I'll update thread with pictures.

Due to additional logistics I decided to add an additional fund of $200 through my charity foundation {BrainbossCares}. Our donation to the outreach will be used to buy additional foodstuffs and to cover other costs to carry-out the outreach.

Work is already in process, I was asked by @Royse777 and @Lauda to create awareness about this outreach and that's what this thread is all about, no donation is too small.

Hope to see more like you @Boss whos willing to use even His own funds just to extend hands helping Others in this Epidemic.You really "Cares Boss" Thank you.

You are definitely a big brother watching people's back. This is great , I'm happy with some of these covid-19 mini campaign to help.
About the 20 families that you can deliver to directly, that means they are close around you because I understand that Nigeria is on lockdown across states , which means there are no free movement of vehicles from state to state (you understand what I'm saying for sure as omo iyami  ).

How can you now deliver products mentioned to people living in far North if you are not living around there or Western Nigeria.

Therefore, I don't know if you have thought of opening a mini covid-19 campaign for either Nigerians or other forum members so that they can use btc earning to purchase some of those products mentioned too.

Note : If you open a mini covid-19 campaign like some thoughtful members here have done, you can be sure the benefit is getting to members directly and that will save you much stress too.

You deserve my little merit by the way.

Edit: Meanwhile, I need such support but I don't know how you can get all that across

Thanks TryNinja.

We need more funds so that once I receive the receipt from CryptopreneurBrainboss then we can pay the owing. Please feel free to donate any amount you can. Every little contribution helps in this crisis.

There is another application is in progress. We are doing the background check and if approved then we will be needed more funds. I will request all kind-hearted users who care for this community and humankind, please come forward and help these unfortunate needy people around us.

Cheers,

P.S: Thanks CryptopreneurBrainboss to take this responsibility for us.

This outreach is limited to families living within my street (maximum community) due to the lockdown and restrictions of movement in the state and country at large. In future times, we might think of extending our outreach to families outside my state and when that those occurs other forum members will be contact to oversee the outreach.

The best we can do now is spread the news so donators can see this initiative and support it. You can contribute any amount, as no amount is too small.

I never know you are this kind of person who derived Joy in helping people in need particularly at this difficult time in the history of Mankind.
Meanwhile, if you have plans to cover FCT I don't mind to do the delivery with my private Car free of charge since am an essential Staff, free to move round  and that will be my own way of support to those in need.
Stay safe brother!

[LogitechMouse]

I love the initiative that you want to help other people in times like this.

I have a suggestion though. I have asked it in Royse777's thread in Project Development but looks like no one responded (since I just edited it ) but are you thinking of accepting other coins like ETH or XRP or any low transaction fee coins. We know already that the fee of Bitcoin is high already.

Thanks and spread the word and love

Please contact @Royse777 directly as he's in charge of collecting the funds. Thanks for showing interest.

PS: updated thread with image of purchased foodstuffs, more pictures will be uploaded soon as distribution has began.

Congratulations BrainBoss and a very big thank you to Bitcointalk.org for this initiative. Without missing words, this should be the very first time we're receiving this help from this community, though I stand the chance to be corrected; on this if such existed before I joined the community.

For the initiators, we thank you for the remembrance and this will be a new dawn for the good people of Nigeria. Nevertheless, this is a stepping stone towards mass adoption to these countries in consideration.

I have been seeing threads of this nature but for this Covid-19: "I am speechless". @Royse777, may you never lack in your life, also,  may this community never lack anything concerning its existence.

I bring greetings from Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nigeria, Abuja.

Hey Brainboss, I didn't see this thread though I did Royse777's. Well done! Looks like all these efforts are more numerous than I can keep track of (on this forum and elsewhere). Wonderful effort, I'll make sure to send this some love. A couple of quick comments:

1. Could you try and see if the suppliers you're buying food off might make small contributions of their own, or give a discounted rate (so you can reach more people?). It's business they would otherwise not have, and for a cause within their own communities too.
2. I wonder if we could do a little bit more in terms of sensitivity to the recipients being photographed? I think it's lovely to have them featured, but perhaps a small question to ask: "How are we using them to describe what we are doing to help/change?" Perhaps asking them to share a family moment they photograph themselves and send you on your phone (with all measures in place) could result in a better story of theirs =)

[Chrystora123]

thank you for spreading love in this "PANDEMIC" moment..  what you are doing has greatly eased the burden of those who really need help at the time of this pandemic, I have also made a small contribution to the homeless people around my city, this kind of caring must be nurtured.  beautiful job @bosscares

Hey @Royse77,

I would like to forward my previous week signature campaign reward to Project Covid-19 : Supply to 20 families in Nigeria.
I've already warned bounty manager CryptopreneurBrainboss about it. If I get it right, you will receive about 0,0016 btc from 1BitvestxmKKNRjxyHh5Mn1iWovFzs93Hr. This is not much, but hope it will help. Usually, payments are sent on Thursday, so expect funds to be +/- that day.

Good Luck 

[nelson4lov]

@CryptopreneurBrainBoss This is amazing. In this trying times, You've touched some lives and put smiles on faces. This will surely go a long way to help a lot of family get through this pandemic with a smile on their faces.

Also, I appreciate @Royse777 for the initiative to share love and touch lives. I'm not forgotten other donators thus far. There's rewards for givers. God bless you all. 🙏

This will be amazing. We need funds to pay the debt to CryptopreneurBrainboss. He actually paid it out of his pocket and sent us the receipt. I am looking forward to all the members to donate as much as they can to the donation address.

@buwaytress, I am thinking of a game, a challenge type game like we used to have in Ice Bucket challenge againt ALS. Lately I discovered there are a lot of users in the forum do not know about these initiations and for this reason maybe we are not receiving many donations. We already have some queue to look after a user and to pay CryptopreneurBrainboss.

Thanks @nelson4lov

Everyone again, please donate as much as possible, donate now without waiting for tomorrow.

Cheers,

[suzanne5223]

This is a wonderful initiative and it good to see that the forum is actually doing something positive to help the people that really needed.
However, I'm really amazed that @CryptopreneurBrainBoss paid for the process out of his pocket and it good that @Royse77 join this conversation so that @LogitechMouse opinion can be taken into consideration so that the project will get more fund.

Great work, CryptopreneurBrainboss. Your efforts will be rewarded one day. Btw your country is too expensive :p I use to buy these stuff for single-family @half of that price

Sorry LogitechMouse, I did not see your post earlier. Yeah, these days the fees are really high but I will recommend everyone to user low fees like 1 or 2 sat/B since it's not something that needs to be confirmed in urgent basis. If the Tx gets confirmed in even 24 to 48 hours, we should not have problem.

I personally would not like to have any other coins for this project but if anyone has any other coins in mind then they can swap this with any other users in the currency section and pay with BTC. However, I will talk to Lauda to see what is her opinion in this.

Cheers,

The Project Covid-19 : Two-step Challenge Game is live now. Start challenging your buddies. :-D

[thisnewcoin]

This is really a great movement BrainBoss, this is we, a Bitcointalk family, together we can overcome this pandemic situation! Btw The Tshirt with the Bitcointalk domain idea is really amazing, don't know why I feel it heart-melting!

[Charles-Tim]

This is really great as well got a wonderful Nigerian that have his people in mind, this time of coronavirus pandemic, we know how things are hard for people, movement is so restricted, and this makes so many people not to have access to work for their daily living earnings. So, this is a good example, and I am happy this came from our fellow Nigerians on this forum. To speak out my mind you are indeed a role model.

[Coyster]

Congratulations to cryptopreneurbrainboss and to all Nigerians, both on and off the forum, I'm glad this project was a success, and obviously it was surely going to be, as it is handled by trusted users who would even take out of their own private pocket to make it happen.

I'm sure many of those beneficiaries have had their businesses or livelihoods impeded by this virus, supporting them with those items is not a gesture they will forget in a hurry for sure.
