It was a very long, and glorious non-profit journey in my life for over 20 years as a founder, CEO, and chairman of grassroots non-profit acting exactly on the frontline. I'm widely known and supported by great global donors, including the Childhood, and the UBS Optimus Foundation, among others, and recognized with number of kudos because I am really good in this field on global scale. I and my team achieved a lot from ground zero: 25 Children's Advocacy Centers, National Child Helpline, and National Missing Children Center alongside to other service launched, resulted in 6-time increase diclosure of sexual crime in children in the decade. All of this was built with misery budgets, without overheads, and I understood that it's shameful to continue stowing a kettle by our souls, people who really committed to the issue, and had burned out one after another. At the same time excessive intermediaries controlling financial flows between the first-line private, governmental, and corporate donors, are just fine legally consuming up to $99,8 from each donated 100. Then, today I'm writing on a different matter, where I am freshener believing in success of my idea. In 2016, I was participating at Global Entrepreneurship Summit-2016 held at Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA with presence of the 44th US President Obama and all tech stars: Mark Zuckerberg, Reid Hoffman , and other big tech guys. Thank you very much USAID , 美国国务院 , my friend and US Prosecutor Suzanna Tiapula , and the US Ambassador to Belarus Scott Rowland. The atmosphere of this great event inspired me to make a step forward, and find the solution, better to say a universal tool to solve global challenges including poverty via re-enforcement of globally impactful local solvers, and transform them into primary actor of global change. Presentations of stars were tremendous, and inspirational, and 谷歌 Senior Advisers were truly helpful in building draft architecture for my project. But the world wasn't ready for such a universal solution. People were not ready to delegate to AI a significant portion of their power. So, shameful state of issues were kept for longer.
IRIN shows that only 0,2% of initial funds of International Humanitarian relief reach its final recipients – grassroots NGOs working directly to target groups and/or societal challenges. https://www.irinnews.org/analysis/2017/03/27/local-aid-agencies-still-waiting-bigger-share-funding-cake
At the same time International Aid becomes less and less reaching the frontline, the competition for funding begins hotter, and usually those wins who just stay closer to the source of funding, its not about to be better in idea, or solution, or performance. People give to people, to those whom they know. So, consequently, the effectiveness of action towards global challenges dropped down in times, especially in the last 10-15 years: https://www.irinnews.org/opinion/2017/01/11/welcome-global-war-aid

I do not even speak about clown shows, like the most global Calls for Proposals seems for professional community on the ground. This shameful role game must be ceased, and substituted by fair approach and mechanism giving all subjects around the Earth with an opportunity to develop our planet, and save it.
With aid2aim launched in 2022, we offer to raise in times effectiveness of initial donations, external corporate social responsibility funding, and international development and relief aid via our universal AI-powered tool, connecting directly international donor market to local globally-impactful solvers. This direct connection will raise effectiveness of initial input in times, even if the total amount will decrease. Our tool allows solving a number of global challenges by still invisible and exploited by intermediaries extremely effective local actors. I and my Tech part Co-founder are eager to share this project with an appropriate venture capitalist/social impact investor. And I'm looking for him or her.
