different contribution model focused on directly supporting entrepreneurs in emerging economies
Imagine a world, where talented and responsible entrepreneurs worldwide can transform vision into
action by benefitting from direct financing, avoiding bureaucracy and slow funding mechanisms.
A world where they can lean on a free international network of experts in order to advance their thinking, their strategies, and their managerial decisions.
Imagine a world where creating and sustaining positive social impact is a joint cross-border, cross-community effort that makes the world move closer together.

More than an idea, Chaka is a solution for a better use of donation/development money, resolving the three main flaws of today's development model, and thus allowing:
More than an idea, Chaka is a solution for a better use of donation/development money, resolving the three main flaws of today's development model, and thus allowing:
- Full transparency, with precise knowledge of what was given to whom, through the use of a block-chain mainNet, making all transactions public and traceable.
- A better project selection mechanism, leveraging the knowledge of local entrepreneurs, who know their markets better than anyone else.
- Building a circular economy where the same 100$ can be given again and again to different development projects thanks to the simple idea of sustaining efforts rather than maintaining dependency.

Moving Parts
The Chaka project is composed of 3 main moving parts :
The Chaka platform will also be the tool through which any donor will be able to follow the evolution of the projects he/she chose to support. It enables donors to be directly in touch with the project leader, give advice, and participate in the success of the project to the extent that he/she wishes.
The LANES provide financial management, advice and support, guiding the local project leader through the task of presenting his initiative. It will also provide the access to the internet and other managerial tools when required.
This mechanism is at the base of the innovation of the Chaka initiative as donations are no longer viewed as a “no return” financial actions, nor are they viewed as investments where the financial return is the key decision making element. We are introducing the intermediate term of financial contribution, symbolizing the act of financially contributing to and being part of a development effort.
The Chaka Platform
A crowdgiving platform that allows every citizen of the world to donate money to a specific project of his/her choice, having received a full description of the project, its local leader, its location, its impact, its costs, as well as its pros and cons. But it also enables any entrepreneur/project leader in any developing country to present his/her impactful development project and obtain at no cost, funds, management, knowhow, the support of an international community of experts, advisors, and entrepreneurs.The Chaka platform will also be the tool through which any donor will be able to follow the evolution of the projects he/she chose to support. It enables donors to be directly in touch with the project leader, give advice, and participate in the success of the project to the extent that he/she wishes.
The LANES : Local agencies Network
An essential part of the implementation of the Chaka initiative, the LANES represent the physical interface through which any entrepreneur in a developing country can interact with Chaka’s international community and present his project for potential endorsement.The LANES provide financial management, advice and support, guiding the local project leader through the task of presenting his initiative. It will also provide the access to the internet and other managerial tools when required.
Passive Digital Assets
As a contribution to a project is executed, a proportional amount of the project’s virtual equity is transferred, in the form of a passive asset, to the contributor’s Chaka projects portfolio. This virtual equity is further redeemed, as the project’s conclusion terms are met, and is monetized back to the contributor’s fiat account. The amount redeemed is function of the success of the project and is subject to a “result factor” that can be either negative or positive.This mechanism is at the base of the innovation of the Chaka initiative as donations are no longer viewed as a “no return” financial actions, nor are they viewed as investments where the financial return is the key decision making element. We are introducing the intermediate term of financial contribution, symbolizing the act of financially contributing to and being part of a development effort.
Technology
Why use distributed ledger technology Mainnet?
×
Like many promising new technologies, the blockchain has been abused in the past few years by scammers
seeking to take advantage of the hype for their own benefit. Nevertheless, the tremendous potential of
the blockchain technology in particular and the distributed ledger technology in general, to reshape the reality of the
financial and
social world cannot be denied.
Similarly to the "dot com" period, when the smoke dissipates, only those who combine ingenuity, functioning operations and a sustainable target market will capitalize.
Chaka is not another blockchain initiative issuing a digital currency, it is the materialization of the continuous efforts of the blockchain community to further develop one of today's most exiting technological development, one that is commonly viewed as the biggest technological revolution since the introduction of the internet!
Chaka is a financial initiative using distributed ledger technology as an enhancer, implementing its capacity to:
Both elements contribute to the creation of a transparent and participatory framework which results in increasing the trust factor amongst its users.
