ABOUT CONNECTAID
A HUMANITARIAN SOCIAL NETWORK
AND PR SERVICE PROVIDER
Today, we live in a world crippled by inequalities. Poverty, hunger, climate change, access to health and education, among other challenges are global concerns affecting us all.
The coronavirus crisis will push more than a quarter of a billion people into starvation unless swift action is taken to provide food and humanitarian relief to the most vulnerable. With already over 1 in 10 people worldwide living below the poverty line, the United Nations has warned 500 million more could fall into poverty as a result of the coronavirus outbreak. The poverty and social impacts of the current war will also be massive.
ConnectAID is the first combined social impact network and Public Relations Service Provider which is entirely dedicated to Sustainable Development Goals. It allows individuals, nonprofits, corporates and foundations to get involved and contribute to sustainable development actions, and to become the change during the health and economic crisis we are currently going through.
The International Solidarity Network is on a mission. We want to be a part of the change and to encourage solidarity differently.
Our goal is to connect you to international aid, for greater social, humanitarian and environmental impact.
We offer a new approach of international solidarity: the belief that together we can tackle sustainable development and the disastrous consequences of COVID-19 and the current war.
TOWARDS A NEW APPROACH TO PHILANTHROPY
An advanced technology serving common good
Our nonprofit members now have access to the support and tools they need to be more impactful, including to a new communication network allowing them to inform their audience in real time about realities on the ground.
Your window to the humanitarian world
ConnectAID allows you to create your personal profile and invite your connections to join. Your newsfeed informs you of current humanitarian and environmental issues, while keeping you up to date with on-going projects, while connecting with like minded people.
A connected solidarity
We can help you make direct donations to support vetted on-going development projects. All nonprofit partners have carefully been selected. You can choose to contribute to some actions on the ground, and the network will allow you to witness the real impact of your generosity.
Join the community of change makers
ConnectAID is built on the idea of community and networking as a way to bridge the gap between humanitarian needs in the field and individuals who want to help. We also offer, through our events, Volunteer, Sponsorship, Solidarity Trips and Ambassador Programs, the chance for anyone to become a global change maker.
THE CONNECTION BETWEEN PEOPLE AND HUMANITARIAN ACTION
Our programmes
First of all, through our pool of Consultants, we provide high level communication support to the United Nations, European Mission, Foundations and NGOs around the world. In addition, our Academy of Community Advocates provides training to SDG advocates and encourages solidarity at an international level. Community Advocates are from all over the world and are all activists dedicated to SDG action. ConnectAID’s Youth Voices project and the high-level thought leader Ambassador program includes international SDG influencers from all backgrounds. ConnectAID also holds an SDG Book Corner, a list of SDG Influencers and provides a mapping system of SDG actions around the world. And annually, we organise distinguished World Summits dedicated to exposing SDG values, breaking silos, and encouraging solidarity.
An inclusive approach
Any international nonprofit organization whose on-going project(s) contribute to at least one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals can become a member of our network, therefore joining our social media hub with their logo and present their actions to our community on our social network. A minimum administration fee will be required to pitch in so that we can cover some of our ongoing costs. Our team will then select the vetted NGO Members we can support on the long run. Join us to form a community of NGOs working together for more impact on sustainable development!
We help organizations save time and money by offering our communication services
International NGOs, Corporations or Foundations are invited to contact us for a partnership and work with us on specific projects responding to their needs. ConnectAID offers its partners a variety of services and helps them increase their visibility, CSR and SDG impact. Whether the aim of your organization is to access our consultant pool, reach potential sponsors or minimize your need for CSR and communication investment, our priority and principal beneficiaries remain the local communities directly impacted by humanitarian crises and development issues.
OUR FIELD MISSIONS
In August 2022, three of our Field Reporters went on a humanitarian mission to India to film, write about and report back on how these two organizations are profoundly impacting the lives of ordinary Indians. FXB India Suraksha and the Blue House project are two of the wonderful NGOs. Yet very few people outside of India know about them – or their enormous impact. Here is what one of our NGO Members says about us.
ConnectAID, which recently launched its social media hub, is growing completely organically by word of mouth. This only inspires us to keep going, knowing we are actively contributing to changes within the global community.
We have invested more than 50,000 hours of work in the creation of the International Solidarity Network, now internationally renowned through its extended network of over 2 million social media network, academic leaders, corporate entities, and other individuals and stakeholders who care about the “SDGeneration” and mission. We thank all individuals, NGOs and Corporations, who wish to invest in our actions. What we do is more than ever necessary.
Thank you to everyone who has made the success of the International Solidarity Network possible. In addition to our current team of specialists in areas of communication, computer programming, humanitarian and development aid, we also would like to thank our partners, Ambassadors and all those who believed in us and who are using ConnectAID to make a difference.
