Involve/Net
We transform wasted time to contributions to society.

The Problem:

We notice that a lot of users of public transportation have free time on their hands.

While socially isolated people, such as: elderly  and handicapped have no one to talk to.

These individuals are being  treated  unaffectedly by different organizations,

With “Involve Net”  we Intend to transform this free time into a social contribution

 

The Solution:

Connect these two groups of people by an innovative mechanism that will benefit both sides.

The idea is to use public transportation terminals as our base of operation.

Connection hubs will be situated at strategic places at the terminal with the aim to draw people

to register to the service and enter the program’s data base.

Connection is made by a phone application or by the hub itself .

Commercials around the stations will promote the service and offer a return value for the

users.

 

How does it work:

First time users will be approved by “Invlove Net” staff, and register to the service using their

phone number as their ID.

A control mechanism will be established that will allow feedback from both sides, the caller and

the receiver.

This mechanism  will assure the quality of the  conversation and will block offensive users.

We will establish our data base ,of individuals in needs,  based on existing data bases received   

from non-governmental organizations (NGO’s).

The callers will receive coupons/vouchers physically at the connection hubs or electronically by

a phone application.

 

Funding:

By providing service to the NGO’s we are expecting to receive funding for this program.

The government is another possible funding source,  which will  sustain the program.

The coupons/vouchers will be provided by the companies for free, in exchange for free

publicity, companies may be funding partners as well.
