Umeebee: Connecting Donors with People on the Ground

For the last few months, my friend Frerieke van Bree has been working on a social action platform called Umeebee. Her site will connect donors with the beneficiaries of group fundraising campaigns through the use of video, images, and blogs.

Initially, Fre plans to focus on projects that help children in Africa. Eventually, the site will also profile projects that are created elsewhere in the world across a range of topics. Umeebee will primarily feature projects that receive support through person-to-person fundraising.

Last week, I recorded some footage of Frerieke talking about Umeebee. She has edited the footage and created an inspiring introduction to the project.
