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.
