Think It - Sustainable Education: Many people in the world today do not have the chance to succeed because they are denied a basic right to receive an education. A sustainable end to world poverty, as well as the path to peace and security requires that every individual is empowered to make positive choices and provide for themselves and their families. Sustainable education is the world's foundation to build a better tomorrow.
See It - Relief Initiatives: Humanitarian work is not limited to crisis response, but covers a full range of activities including, advocacy, prevention, preparedness, direct response and rehabilitation. Situations created by war, drought, floods, earthquakes, famine, and poverty all represent areas where relief initiatives are imperative to human survival.
Do It - Health Initiatives: Having a healthy population is critical to economic growth and development. Yet many people live in the shadow of major epidemics such as HIV/AIDS tuberculosis (TB), malaria, cancer, and the like. These humanitarian tragedies cause great suffering and diminish economic growth making it difficult to break the vicious cycle of poverty and human need around the globe.
Live It - Environmental Initiatives: Climate change is one of the most critical global challenges of our time. Recent events have demonstrated our growing vulnerability to climate change. Environmental impacts range from global warming, increased natural disasters, species extinction, vector-borne diseases, contaminated drinking water, and many more. The environment plays a critical role in our ability to survive.
One idea acted upon globally can change the world!
The Just Be Human - Think it, See it, Do it, Live it initiative attempts to unite the world behind a common thought and vision that each of us as humans can relate to and be a part of.
Due to the advancements in technology, communication, and innovative thinking we have never been more capable as a society. It is with these advancements that we are also able to see in real time the needs that surround us across the globe and in our own backyards. Our current efforts utilizing conventional means alone are not enough to meet these needs. This is due partially to a fragmented linear approach to solving the world's greatest challenges.
While much is being done, so much more still must be addressed. Individual actions can make a difference; we see examples of this every day. These actions have made the world a better place, but not for everyone. Working collectively we can unlock and harness our true potential allowing all of us to experience these benefits.
Just Be Human acts as a unifying agent, providing a single branded initiative that is supported by four campaigns fitting almost every charitable endeavor. Think It - Sustainable Education, See It"- Relief initiatives, Do It - Health initiatives, and Live It - Environmental initiatives. One thought acted upon globally can open new doors, uniting us all as One Human Nation.
Current main streamcharitable initiatives are beginning to overwhelm the general public with respect to global and local campaign efforts. This creates confusion; which in turn reduces the participation and decreases the sense of urgency for all initiatives.
Just Be Human is a simple statement that translates into any language easily with its meaning intact. It can unite us all as humans, helping us to be a part of a movement that is trying to solve the challenges we all face in our effort to survive.
Our will to survive is driven naturally by two key factors self interest and the desire to help others. The current capital system drives society's desire for the latest and greatest products and services. As this occurs relief efforts are forced to re-invent their brand at great expense with competition being created as a byproduct. By adopting a unified approach to solving the world's challenges the characteristics of the aforementioned factors and system could be leveraged.
Through the use of creative capitalism businesses and organizations can play a more prominent role in meeting global needs. The requirement to make profits could be balanced with global recognition in an effort solve the greatest challenges facing the world today.
Whether you are an individual, charity, business, organization or government; you can utilize the Just Be Human brand to create an increased awareness for your products, services or charitable initiatives. Too many great efforts and causes are getting lost in the confusion of the current linear systems.
