PHILApp is a philanthropical movement whose purpose is to establish a global Interactive Ecosystem where the daily use of IOT “Internet Of Things”, Social Media, Television, means of communication, become a rail where people can earn while they use the products and services. Philapp’s vision is to create the largest community of philanthropists around the world in a time and age where over 1.7B people are unbanked, over 55% of people in the USA alone cannot read a book at an 8th grade level. Philapp’s mission is to help people build a digital economy while chatting, watching television, playing video games, getting educated and shopping. As well as using our philanthropic partnerships which allows everyone an equal opportunity in generating digital wealth through “PHL”, using Smart contracts which demonstrates a high level of a transparency, user friendly environment, whilst fulfilling the purpose of the 17 SDG’s and every humanitarian support given in our eco system. The third world continues to struggle not only financially, but with the access to even the most basic technology. Think how many minutes of the day you have spent so far either calling, messaging or even video conferencing? This has become part of our lifestyle, on how we communicate with each other. Those in the underdeveloped world don’t currently have the ease of such technology, nor do they have businesses in the first world lobbying and strategizing to contribute to their much-needed growth. Philapp has been created with the social conscience at its core. Having realized the deficit and gap in ‘giving back’, we are committed to launch a mechanism that gives back. Philapp has created an ecosystem that is designed to redirect wealth. We endeavor to reach all corners of the world through the tecnology decentralized and support those who are less privileged, particularly in the third world. We have created an app using Prime technology, where users can chat, message and more, whilst getting paid to do so. There are many ways in which users can earn via usage and sharing. By simply downloading the Philapp, referring the app and the best bit, every time they use the app, they stake Philapp meaning the more they chat, the more they earn. The technology supports low bandwidth and cellphone network, no need for Wi-Fi, designed specifically for the third world. Philapp has been assigned into a DAF (Donor Advised Fund), a purely charitable fund in the US. Each time someone transacts over $100USD with Philcoin through our mobile app, 1$ goes directly to the DAF and this results in exponential funding for those who need it the most. The growth of the DAF will enable missions to the third world to help children and adults lead a better life through education, healthcare and social support. Philcoin has been hand selected as the first digital currency in partnership with the SDG Impact Fund, who are supporting the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health, education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.
