The following proposal is being put forth by three parties in Sao Paulo Brazil, Sean Morgan, the cofounder of CoinYou.Co Crypto Education Platform, Ezequiel Gomes, the chief-editor of DashBR.com and Dr. Husam Abboud of the blockchain research lab and Adus.org.br, a refugee reintegration organization.
The Problem: Refugees sometimes lack:
- Financial Literacy
- A Bank Account
- Any Financial Resources
- A Way To Make Money
- An Affordable Way To Send Money Abroad To Family
The Opportunity:
People that had to move away from their countries often have to start a new life with little resources and need financial education to live in a foreign land. This opens a door for crypto solutions to meet this need and offers a new perspective on money and economy. The crypto philosophy about financial freedom and the ability to transact over borders can give a new horizon to this kind of people and this makes them specially interested in learning as much as they can and as fast as they can to be able to explore crypto potencial in practice as soon as they can.
Program Process:
- Ezekiel and Sean would create an English and Portuguese curriculum focused on the basics of using DASH and using DASH to buy goods, sell goods and services, use it as a remittance etc. The curriculum will be a series of videos, tutorials, and articles.
- The videos will be produced using borrowed equipment from CoinYou and some equipment such as lights will need to be purchased.
- The articles will be printed into a take-home pamphlet for the students.
- The videos will be played in the classroom and will be available offline once students download them from the CoinYou app if they have a smart phone.
- There will be 2 live training sessions at the Adus.org.br facilities Each class will have 25 students and 5 assistants (volunteers or those hired through the program) to help students in groups of five to do hands on training using borrowed laptops from Adus and CoinYou. Students will watch the videos and then get their questions answered by the teacher (Ezequiel Gomes).
- An entrepreneurship class will be held to help students formulate a business plan for their DASH.
- Follow up contact will be made to determine how effectively students used DASH funds to start a business and if additional help is needed for them to effectively use the funds.
ROI / BENEFITS FOR DASH:
- Teach Dash helps DASH with its goal of converting people who don't know how to use Dash into real time users.
- Frequently asked questions or problems users have will be put into a report and sent to the core team before another proposal is sent for a more scaled training. This addresses Dash’s strategy for growth, to understand user needs and solve users problems
- Documentation of the program will be promoted in the media, which will be great marketing for DASH and show that Dash not only works but that it is an organization that cares and helps people.
- Video documentation of the program will provide proven use cases as a Remittance service and functioning microeconomy.
- High quality DASH courses produced in multiple languages can be used by millions of users online.
- We will help to convert small and big businesses into real Dash merchants.
- We are committed to provide updates and reports on a monthly basis at: Dash forum thread. Also we will send detailed information to the Dash Network.
