Using Konra to Empower Communities
Via the Sponsorship concept that was originally supposed to stand on it’s own too we can use Konra here to boost an awesome transition project even more.
What it is on a simplified scale:
It’s basically change 4 change in a nutshell. Individuals here work together with individuals and families overseas in developing nations to boost them and their communities via a creative sponsorship program.
Families and communities in Developing nations would be issued a certain amount of Konra by the Empire to hold until individuals from a developed nation wishes to trade with them.
Someone in Europe or America can choose to give their change every month, between 10 – 30$ to the family or community overseas and receive half the amount back in Konra in return. So if they give 10$ they’d get 5 Konra, if they give 30 they’d get 15 Konra. The exchange rate would change over time as the value of Konra fluctuated, either becoming more valuable or less valuable due to market conditions.
This back and forth will empower families overseas, give them access to their basic needs and help them establish businesses and similar cool awesome things to boost their communities. Those who sponsor someone from here get their Konra which they can then sell on the market place or use as Merit to gain benefits here. Volunteers from the Hanian Community may even travel overseas to help empower people, teach them valuable skills and integrate their communities with the larger world community.
Konra could also be used to trade one on one with individuals overseas for various resources — ie. if they create spices, clothing, or other resources that can be used by our communities here it’s easy to send the Konra back to the communities overseas again for big rebates or even free products from there.
In due time as this program improves the lives of many we may even be able to gain access to multiple resources from our overseas community that individuals here can share via the Zorheke program. For instance, a community may use the change 4 change boosts to create a nice little homestay vacation resort and individuals here can then share some of the rooms there upon going on vacation or be guided on tours by people from the very community they helped empower. People with enough Konra may get this for reduced cost or even free, while the community members overseas may charge regular tourists regular prices for the same thing.
Over time we can improve this and it can even create a positive feedback loop; not only improving peoples’ lives but also creating a powerful use case for trading and using Konra. Of course you can also see how even starting this on a very small scale can significantly boost the adoption of Konra over time.
While it may begin as an informal ledger kept by one member of a community overseas, it can in time be expanded that every family may have their own account / ledger with their own balances — since if each community has even one phone or computer they can each sign up for their own account via MintMe and get access to their own balance that way. As there aren’t any high fees associated with the trading and sending / receiving of Konra it’s perfect for things such as this.
It may begin with just a few families or one community overseas, but over time as more people use Konra and want to participate in Change 4 Change we could quickly upscale as needed. If it’s successful enough as a project we might qualify to incorporate it as a charity, one that uses Konra.
Of course, here too, having Konra gain value via trade and demand will boost this project too helping over time to lessen and eliminate poverty in many regions. I have MANY MANY ideas for making this a lot more powerful over a period of time and many in our small community are very eager to help bring communities out of poverty via this method.

What we’d need to begin it….
(Draft)
1: Community Coordinator in a Developing Nation
2: Issue 1000 Konra to them, Set Community & Family transition goals
3: Have them create a GFM (Go Fund Me) or similar for raising funds
4: Put Konra on the block Chain
5: Have them send X amount of Konra to each person per $ given to their GoFundMe
6: Have them use the funds to improve their community / help a few families locally to establish businesses or other endeavors. (Fulfill goals)
7: Have all involved individuals join the Empire as Citizens & Establish a “community” / “embassy” overseas.
8: Slowly create a benefit for all citizens of the Empire & all community members that can boost this project…. charge Konra for it.
9: Repeat the process; over and over again.
