MY CITY LIVE WELL THERE
With COVID, we all know people who are struggling.?
and if you became a Hero just to make them smile again. It's little and it's a lot at the same time. The Ecu to give an echo to your solidarity and your power of action.
Our SMILEY platform creates a positive, caring, resilient and regenerating ecosystem with the help of technology. Its goal: to optimize the field work of local and social Heroes, to create a real purchasing power with a micro-money: a SOLAR TOKEN, as a real new financial strengthening energy for small budgets.
?After COVID, we invite all donors to join us for a great Canadian Picnic with us.
Our project?

A citizen and administrative network which distributes the "Geneva ECU",?a SOLAR TOKENthe first social, economic and solidarity micro-money.
Today, feeding with the Coronavirus has increased by 17%. Long queues of requests for food aid appeared in the media this summer. Many people have been physically injured by the virus or domestic violence which has increased with the stress of confinement. Others were psychologically injured by the loss of an elder who could not be accompanied, by social distancing.??
Our Ideas
Strengthening finances
people in difficulty by distributing food vouchers dedicated to a specific use (food, pharmacy, clothing) via a payment platform that can be used in their local store or in their support organisation.
Giving a little purchasing power
which will also do good for the local economy and give these people back the dignity of being able to shop like everyone else.
Create a micro-currency
exchange to value volunteering and small jobs between neighbours.
Creating a direct link between self-help organizations and their beneficiaries
Provide the opportunity for people suffering from psychological distress or domestic violence (sometimes resulting from COVID-19) to seek help at the touch of a button.?
SMILEY: an exchange bank and a social network?
Helping the most disadvantaged to keep smiling through economic and social integration, through vouchers for the exchange of values (money, money, time, objects...), through stimulation of the local economy, through psychological, social and economic monitoring of the well-being of citizens and/or beneficiaries.?

What do we propose?
The purpose of our application is to ensure access to stability for its users in a crisis context such as the corona virus.
A mobile application that brings financial and social well-being
A platform called SMILEY.
We'll find it on the internet in your mobile phone applications for users.
We'll find it on the Web by computer for managers.
It will be used by?the managers of the Genevan aids:
and multi-user :?
A strengthening currency for the most fragile
This currency is called a SOLAR TOKEN.?
It's a micro-currency structured in the form of electronic vouchers...
These vouchers can be distributed by aid organisations
They can be predefined: either to pay for food, pharmacy...
They can be opened: usable for all purposes in shops that accept the Geneva ECU.
They can be purchased in stores to make donations or gifts.
They can be used to value volunteer work and thereby enhance neighbourhood self-help.
They can be used as vouchers in mutual aid barter between individuals
a mom can trade?her baby's clothes against SOLAR TOKENs that she can use for English classes
A social network between beneficiaries and aid organisations
It consists of a set of buttons that create a contextual scale.
This scale makes it possible to know the day-to-day welfare situation of a citizen or beneficiary
This scale will range from satisfaction to distress.
It will be very easy to use even for illiterate people.
A set of buttons will be connected to each organization registered on the platform.
An interface will open up to the managing body.
Each interface is adapted to the managing body according to a principle of options.?
With the possibility to register easily to a help service.??
Our application will also allow the networking of these support services?
With this campaign of crowdfunding and crowdsourcing?
we create with you the "SMILEY" platform.
Thanks to this platform, we will distribute a SOLAR TOKEN, a micro-currency to reinforce the most fragile ones.?known as the Geneva ECU?to put a smile back on the faces of our grandmothers who have very small pensions, young families with children on small budgets, young people who need a helping hand to avoid falling into poverty. They all have in common that they are in survival mode,?negative situation?for their well-being, for public security and for the prosperity of Geneva's economy. We are launching SMILEY as a financial and social platform for the most disadvantaged, but also for all those who wish to use the Geneva ECU to support the local economy.

What is our difference or innovation with the competition?
- the management of stored information governed by citizens or beneficiaries themselves and not accessible by bodies without prior authorisation. New technology developed with maximum security.?
- the crossing of data by different artificial intelligence systems to detect as accurately as possible the needs, suggestions and urgency related to the life of the users.

Trust Kraken's CSR allows you to make a reduced price for essential social actions and is open to other companies who wish to participate by making donations through their CSR.?
