Issues

The act of donating in the fast-paced world has become easier and more convenient than ever. We often see stories on social media that become viral and widely discussed within a short time, asking for help. These viral posts have raised millions in donation, often only for one single person. With millions of people in Thailand suffering from this current COVID Crisis, or even from other disasters and misfortunes, a group of volunteers have set up this project to spread the love out to as many people as possible, to replace lottery-like, unverified online donations that lack transparency.

We believe that smaller support for a greater number of people is infinitely more effective than millions going to help stories that are fortunate enough to go viral.

Project Details

During COVID, there are so many people in need who have gone overlooked or fallen through the cracks when it comes to traditional charity campaigns, government subsidies, and personal fundraising. Many have incredible stories of persistence, unfortunate circumstances, or heart-warming efforts to provide for themselves and their families. We want to help those in need and spread their stories to bring more awareness and humanity to donations.

Social Media has become a storytelling platform for those in need of support. As evidence suggested, some stories told through online media usually quickly become viral and are being widely discussed across different platforms. The more viral the story resonates, the more support it gets. In some cases, enormous support is concentrated on a particular individual. However, not everybody can win the lottery and get their story told in this viral manner. So we’re looking for nominations of individuals who could truly benefit from a small cash prize, to get them through these difficult times and provide basic necessities. We see an opportunity to enable more stories to be heard, directing relief to more individuals, and to “Spread the love” to as many recipients as possible.

Therefore, “Spread the Love” volunteer group has come up with this project that will provide a great solution to solve this problem to enhance donation capability and ensure that the help covers inclusively those most in need spreading the support evenly. Each recipient based on selected nominations by a panel of judges stand a chance to received 1000-5000 baht per person. Our panel of judges would be made up of volunteers, such as students learning social studies guided by their professor, professionals working in the social impact sector, and donors who have provided an outsized amount of funds for this project. Judges will change each month as new volunteers are invited, however, we wish to respect their privacy and their names will not be published.
This project will provide updates regarding the donation and other relevant information to ensure transparency for donors to see the impact of their donations.
