Is OP has a target to get money in his charity event? As far as I know, it doesn't matter how money do you get just give to other people that wanted it. I help some people in my country especially to my neighbor and I guess that is what should I do compared I help some people out there.
There is no certain amount OP has set to target for the charity. You may check the progress activity of their charity.

Recently I have made a post on making chaRity activities and raising funds for a good cause. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcointalk-charity-program-give-hope-to-everyone-1-is-a-big-thing-for-them-5124375

Until I have seen some people that are ready to help and encountered a person who really is in need, and yet the fundraising event is not getting any attention even though it already have some activities.

Does any person will be poor if he donates a $1 money coming from his own pocket? .....

To answer your question in the header, the reason the Hell People are not helping is because they are Hell People.

You are looking for angels.

But then, what you find are the Hell's Angels.

Mostly what happen is that people are tired of helping to created problems and in most cases what the person in need really need is not money but advice and platform's to thrive on because the donations of money can even result in creating more problems to them if not properly managed. What am saying in instead is that the government should be responsible for the helping to elevation of the poor in the society and not individuals.

The worst thing to do when asking for donations, is complaining to possible donors that no one's donating. Let's be frank here, many people in this site need money themselves (moi included), you can't just guilt-trip them into shelling out money.

Maybe just do as churches do and hold raffles? If it's regular, like monthly, then maybe even the stingy would pitch in every once in a while in hopes of a quick win.

Even if the OP is genuine to its core, still many people that can afford will not shell out money, either they are too lazy to do the process of sending or they just don't want to. Pretty simple. As others have said also, many people are skeptical because of so many bogus attempts of extracting money from others. So you really can't expect people to be helpful with others. Maybe, the OP can tie up with licensed NGOs that will make his small project more credible to the eyes of people.

Hopefully NGOs that focus on livelihood training or entrepreneurship. That way people can't argue that "you're just helping them have more kids that will also be poor".

People don't trust easily when it comes to donation specially online.
We don't really know what would happen next when we give some funds,Would it really be sent to those who needs it or just going to be put in a scammer's pocket?

I believe it is the opposite.  There have been numerous gofundme campaigns that are fake and have reached their goals.  If you make people sad or angry they are quick to donate money.  Charity is a huge business, people want to be trusting in general.

The goverment must help, that is why we pay taxes.
You have a good point dude. What is the government of your country doing about the people you claimed are in need of help and why can't you advise some of them to participate in crypto currency and make a living the way to you do here.

Does any person will be poor if he donates a $1 money coming from his own pocket? Although I know that donations are made willingly and not forcibly but the fact that humanity is not really satisfying as of now, I feel sorry for those who're in bad shape.

If I were have the money, I would like to donate as much as I can (I already did but a small amount). And as in the meantime, I don't have anything to give but I will as soon as I have.

I'm still hoping that it will get some attention, in fact the funds are being escrowed by a trusted user.

It is not compulsory for one to donate and escrow funds is not yastic for one to trust whether if people donate funds it actually get to the people the funds is meant for.
You are currently participating in a campaign at the moment and why can't you donate whatever you earn in a week to the acclaimed people you want to help? It is better to source money from the people within your community who can actually see the people you claimed are in need of help.

Have a look into where the money goes from a lot of "well known charities" let's call them. I was going to say "respectable", decided against.

Check out how much goes towards the CEOs wage and running of the company before it filters down to the people (I'm not saying it's the same with every Charity, but at least check these figures before donating to someone's lifestyle).


I say the cryptocurrency community pull together and try to raise and donate towards forming an organisation to combat it ourselves.

I might sound mad, but listen...


Drones.


We build drones which can automate the process of delivering clean food, water and clothing to remote and exteremely poor areas. They can drop to defined GPS locations based on scheduling and recharge at secure docking bays between destinations (imagine power pylon height, renewable energy powered).

This would eliminate the need for children to walk miles to obtain clean water and allow the communities time to focus on repair and restructure.

It wouldn't need $1bn, we wouldn't be buying marked up DJIs but our own organisation engineering and building the devices at cost price, then deploying to the bases.

I can't give an exact figure as to the cost without being able to justify and breakdown first, but I can't see why it would exceed $50m.

I would be happy to pull together whatever resources I can in order to help such a project accomplish said goals IF we could get a good team of influential / knowledgeable  / skilled and of course always a bonus, "healthy-walleted" people together.

It's just a suggestion!!  Smiley

This chart is bullshit. US is not giving any aid for free. They have their own vested interest and they are disguising in the name of the humanitarian aids.
If you are right, just send your donations to me. It makes more sense than what you said, so how can you go wrong?

^^^ The chart is not BS. Certainly everything that is given, is given for the benefit of the giver, even though he/she seems to act philanthropically. The same for anybody giving to the OP cause as anything else.

If anyone gives to the OP cause, why is he/she doing it? Personal satisfaction, personal guilt if the gift is not given, benefits reaped in forms other than the type of the gift.

There is a difference between the chart and a gift to the OP. The chart shows gifts based on taxation. Such gifts are for the promoting of the one-world order.

Many people have their own charities that they support.  I personally send funds to 3 different charities and 3 different organizations on a regular basis.  Not saying they're better uses of funds than your charity, but you can't expect to just become everyone's goto charity simply because you exist, nor can you assume since people aren't donating to your project that they aren't making other charitable contributions elsewhere.

Despite the good intention, asking people for donation is not that easy to garner. People have their priorities and you cannot just expect them to donate cash just because they have the means so. Maybe have already donated into a particular charity or they need the cash for their daily-monthly obligations.

~You have to demonstrate exactly how the money will be used to produce positive results.~
Agreed, TheWaterfoundation.org concept is as an example. They send a donator and the community a report about how far they have been making progress for the donation. I believe it somehow gives the feeling of usefulness about every $ or bitcoin donated, and it indirectly triggers peoples to donate more since they know the amount spent has been put to good use.

This is actually true. I think my suggestion would be posting more pictures, showing the concrete development, or the purchasing of materials/food which are to be given to these people.
I never doubted your donation page but people would like to see on where their money is going. Post more pictures and more visual aids to make the page more convincing enough to catch the attention of big-hearted people on the forum.

I will try to donate when I get the opportunity this week!
