I am working on a new concept – a game platform that will channel funds to charities.
ClickAid is a Micro-transaction Game System that is designed to provide real world aid, as well as achievements and pretty things to share on Social networks.
Users create a cute personalised avatar to engage in various Aid related activities around the virtual world. Their avatar will gain skill points, levels, and other achievements. As a User gains levels they will be able to recruit their friends to make teams that work on a common activity.
General activities would include community building (schools, hospitals), micro-banking, medical aid work (eg immunisation), farming, etc.
These gaming activities will involve micro-transactions – with all revenue going to registered charities.
ClickAid would also produce emergency based games – for example: flood relief, famine. These games would be made available as another option for the general public to give support. The aim would be to have these games promoted alongside other charities by the media at the time of emergencies.
Revenue raising for administration purposes will be based on Corporate sponsorship. The emergency based games will display branding, as a layer, allowing local media outlets to brand the game as part of their own charity efforts. Rescue helicopters, food boxes, (well, anything within reason) can be branded by sponsors in every country that has media coverage of an emergency event.
ClickAid will be made available on computers and mobile devices; and will be cross-platform compatible.
The initial funding will be used to design the prototype of the game system and to produce marketing materials to attract technology partners.

I have started a crowd funding attempt on Pozible. If you would like to help – please share the link, maybe even pledge an amount of money to get this off the ground.
Once I hit 500 likes I will start work on the prototype game…
