Fotos4Hope is on a mission to help the 21000 people that are dying each day from starvation the 1.8 million people who are dying every year from contaminated water and the 2 million children that are being exploited every year in global human trafficking. “By combining technology & photography & philanthropy we want to be Providing Hope One Foto @ A Time” states Mala Fotos4Hope founder.
Fotos4Hope is uniting a community of caring philanthropist photographers to give of their time talents and resources to help the less fortunate. Fotos4Hope will primarily raise funds through donations that come in from Fotos4Hope Ambassadors taking portraits of people in public locations.
The organization has created a twelve step ambassador certification process that creates an exclusive and distinguished group of photographers within the photography community. Mala states “Fotos4Hope is not about the numbers of photographers it’s about quality. The thorough process helps protect the organization’s reputation & credibility. More importantly it helps with the public acceptance of our Fotos4Hope’s Ambassadors when the public understand that the certification process is rigorous.”
Fotos4Hope exists to financially support carefully selected organizations that fight poverty stop sex trafficking help children & women. Fotos4Hope strives to accomplish their mission through a simple seven word mission statement - “Providing Hope One Foto At A Time...”
Fotos4Hope is raising funds through crowd-funding to build a new technology platform to support their mission statement. According to Mala “The technology we are currently using is missing core functionality that hinders our company’s growth and vision.”
To ease people’s fears when approached by a Fotos4Hope ambassador in public the new platform will provide seven different ways to verify that a photographer is a Fotos4Hope Ambassador. This includes verifying ambassadors through text messages 1-800 numbers the web and on the Fotos4Hope mobile app.
“No technology no worries.” replies Mala. “The simplest fastest non-technology way to verify an Ambassador is to have them reveal their F4H identification card and a government ID. “ The Fotos4Hope identification card has three anti-counterfeiting measures.
The new platform will also provide seven methods for people to retrieve their photos. Fotos4Hope will also prevent the general public from browsing through other people’s photos. In order to view their own photos people must have the necessary access information to browse and choose their photos.
As people choose their photos they’ll see the Fotos4Hope ambassador’s information that took their photos. This will help promote the ambassador’s photography business and encourage people to hire them for future photography services. As an additional layer of protection people’s information is never shared with the ambassadors. The technology platform will also implement a custom shopping cart that allows people to give donations upon checkout.
Fotos4Hope creates a triple win situation. First win - The people in the community win as they have their professional photos taken in public locations in exchange for small donations. Second win - Charitable organizations win with the funds they receive from the donation that
the Fotos4Hope ambassador's photos help raise. Third win - Fotos4Hope Ambassadors win as they have a new way to meet people expand & grow their businesses and help people around the world that are in need.
