Prosperity Project is a Peace Portal Original Project

Through this project globalization is addressed by empowering Internet users who have no credit card or access to the digital marketplace to start participating, by earning purchasing power in a private economy.

"We are asking for the opportunity to compete, to sell our goods in global markets; in short we want to trade our way out of poverty." ~ Pres. of Uganda

Prosperity Project is sponsored by Peace Portal Humanitarian Trust, based on the designed provided by (FDU) so that any Player, and therefore Peace Portal Member, could access the global marketplace using a common Digital Soule.  Activities of the Soule also support humanitarian organizations.

The Soule creates new wealth in the FDU which will differ from the current public wealth in an important way: it will not be based on the value of Earths extracted natural resources. Instead Digital Publishing is the cornerstone of wealth. 

Prosperity Program combines all aspects of Peace Portal to combat poverty at the grassroots level by providing impoverished people globally with direct access to a commercial forum with Equal Treatment, Compensation, and Protection under the law.  Prosperity Project launches in Phase Two of the Peace Portal plan with the launch of the FDU.

ACCESS: Access Point Project supports the effectiveness and range of Prosperity Program by increasing availability of Information Age technologies with Internet based market opportunities designed specifically to meet the needs of people who are economically dis-enfranchised and whom are regularly excluded from mainstream consideration.

Providing Internet Access is achieved by giving solar powered driven satellite dishes and donated computers to Peace Partners with a presence already in places of greatest need, or simply by integrating our platform and it's partners with projects already providing Access, such as: One Laptop per Child, Room To Read, and Inveneo among others listed here.



With access to the global marketplace new vistas of educational and commercial potential become available, such as programs like Grahmeen Bank which leverages technology to fund micro-loans and microcredit programs via local banks. 

Among many different applications of microcredit by the bank, one is the Village Phone program, through which women entrepreneurs can start a business providing wireless payphone service in rural areas of Bangladesh.

This program earned the bank the 2004 Petersberg Prize for its contribution of Technology to Development.   In the press release announcing the prize, the Development Gateway Foundation noted that through this program:

Manifesting this potential for Prosperity Program is the work of Market Support, and Partners.

 MARKET SUPPORT: Support, training, and services for accessing digital wealth in local goods and services will be need to supplement technology. Through a Co-op for example, only a few need to know how to use computers; craftsmen can drop off their goods to the Co-op for auctioning, musicians be video-taped as part of a digital creation, and through education new knowledge jobs can be created. Whole communities can prosper even if only a few know how to use the technology.

One of our more innovative support projects called SCALE, charters a co-operative at the local level, a cooperative is an autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations.

Working closely with the Prosperity Program, all Access Points are provided a step-by-step plan for implementing a local private community Co-operative, inclusive:

 1. A private back-office application for accounting and aggregating of individual community Member funds;

2. A support staff made up of various Peace Partners which help Co-ops with increasing their wealth by doing such things as distributing their digital content, helping them in creating digital content themselves, how to take digital photos of hand-crafted goods and sell them via an auction site like the Free Digital Market, and other on-line support as appropriate;

3. Distribution networks for the relay, delivery, and tracking of physical goods and services moving into and out of the Access Points.

4. Access to conversion of the private Points of the digital platform into the Co-op Trustees public currency of choice.

5. Help in establishing private regional trading platforms between Access Point Co-ops, with emphasis on attaining regional self-sustainability.

  SCALE is a plan supported by volunteers of Ministries, the FreeDigitalMarket, and others. A SCALE Co-operative provides people in the communities access to a local account that can be managed while still allowing each individual to retain individual control over the Co-op Members account.
