            Propoor.org 
            becomes BeTheChange.org – evolves in its functionality
 
            • ProPoor.org 
              – consensus agrees the name needs to be changed. The site 
              needs to become more dynamic, offering better tools to NGOs, and 
              more opportunities for the public to get involved. 
             
              • BeTheChange.org 
              – Gandhi’s quote resonates with so many. The catchphrase 
              “Be the Change” is adopted 
              by many organizations independently (CharityFocus, SAALT’s 
              Gandhi Day, Challenge Day, etc.). This domain, therefore, should 
              not be claimed by just one owner -- it should be opened up for all 
              to embrace it as their own – a space that encourages and empowers 
              all individuals and all groups to “Be the change” - 
              under one platform, serving all equally. 
             
              • ProPoor.org becomes BeTheChange.org 
              – since ProPoor is looking for a new name and more functionality, 
              it is a worthy contender for the name BeTheChange.org. In order 
              for it to fulfill the requirements for BeTheChange.org (listed above), 
              it would need to become a global site. Its focus on South East Asia 
              can remain, but only as long as it has similar focuses on other 
              areas of the world.
