Patron is the donor who uses the 121 platforms for gifting services or giving donations to verified beneficiaries/charities / Organizations/schools / Universities/academies / or any NGO or charitable beneficiary on the 121 platforms.

121 Skills platform provides complete visibility, trust, personalization, and transparency to all aspects of SDG Goals.
You know whom you are giving(service) to (beneficiary), and you know that your gift or donation was used exactly for what(benefit -Food, Groceries, school fees, Rent, Bills, charity...) it was intended.
The platform ensures equitable distribution of resources by providing full visibility to patrons.
Once there is an impactee in your list, you can see the entire history of your own and others’ contributions to that Impactee.
If a beneficiary has already been helped with monthly staple food or school fees, then you can choose to help another beneficiary who has not been helped yet.
It also provides convenience and simplicity. Patrons can donate while sitting in their homes, on the job, or while on their vacations in or out of the country.
Using the 121 platform patrons can give using any one of many payment methods (CR / DR carda / Cash apps/ ...) and can easily track their records.
This encourages inspiration and trust through social connections.
You can make 121 buddies, share requests, and see each other’s success (depending on privacy settings).
Inspire each other to create meaningful social impact to completely eradicate poverty in your local community or any community you care about.

Even in the most charitable nations in the world, charity is consumptive and fragmented. As UN SDG states our charity may feed someone for a day, but it does not provide a family with long-term food security. It is also besieged with a lack of trust and visibility. The money given to support a family with food and education may very well end up in drugs, gambling, or something else for which it was not intended. The unequal distribution of resources within the poor class in most communities is the other challenge we are trying to address.
At 121 Skills, we're revolutionizing charitable giving. By leveraging technology, we add transparency, trackability, visibility, equitability, personalization, and simplicity to your charity. We are helping change the human mindset from "Me, me, me to share the abundance that we all are blessed with to help whole communities with skills needed to make a real impact at every level. Don't provide fish, teach them how to fish so they can self-sustain.

An Impactee added by a patron will only be visible to the patron who has added the impactee. The patron may choose to share the impact with an impactee buddy.

Just like friends on Facebook or connections on LinkedIn, patrons can invite other patrons to become their impact buddies. They will be able to see each other’s impact and will be able to share impactees with each other.

All those commercial service providers from where Impactee can redeem their gifted services are called Impact Suppliers. These include Grocery Stores, Schools, Colleges, Universities, and Vocational and technical training institutes.

121 is creating a system in which individuals, communities, and organizations are motivated and incentivized to come together and help address SDG gaps in their selected communities (to eradicate Poverty, Hunger, Skills gaps, environmental damage, …)

121 Skills is a registered private limited organization in the Security Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) under the name of 121 Skills Pvt. Limited. It is also a registered organization in the United States of America (USA) and the British Virgin Islands (BVI)

121 is not collecting or saving any sensitive data like live location or credit/debit card information. 121 has partnered with Banks and fintech companies to securely process patron payments.
The Achievements Score Board of 121 patrons is only visible to their 121 Buddies. Patrons can set the privacy settings of their profiles as private which will hide their Achievements Score Board even from their Impact Buddies.

There are two types of beneficiaries
1. Those added by the patrons: No one can see their details except for the person who has added them or anyone that patron chooses to share the information with (Impact 121 Buddies).
2. Those added by NGOs: These are verified beneficiaries who can be searched by any patron, but their mobile numbers are not visible to the patrons.

Organizations> 121 Platform Onboarding fee + share in the revenue generated through 121 Platform. Transaction processing fee.

IIn the case of grocery, 121 charges 1% to patron while the banking gateways charge 3%, so the total charge to the donor is 4% per transaction. The donor has the option to pay these charges separately when gifting groceries.
In the case of Education, 121 Skills negotiates with the education provider. Our charges to the provider are always less than 10%. The premise is that they should not increase their fee; instead, they should include 121 charges as part of their fee. So, from a patron's perspective, there is no charge.
In the case of the NGO, 121 Skills negotiates with the NGO. Besides providing new streams of funding, we also provide a fund management system and international payment gateway to the NGO. The premise is that the NGO incurs costs to do all these activities by themselves which is on average about 30%. We try to charge a fee that is lower than the cost of the NGO to raise and manage funds. Our charges to the NGO are always less than 10%. In this case also, from a patron's perspective, there is no charge.

All accounts used by the platform are duly audited by a reputable Chartered Accounting firm (CPA). All transactions are traceable on the platform and donors are notified whenever the services they gift are redeemed by their beneficiaries.

Crowdfunding is a way of raising money online by multiple funders to finance projects and businesses.

121 Skills International is a social enterprise that provides a digital platform to facilitate UN SDG goals in any community around the Globe helping humanity eradicate deprivation of opportunities (economic, Financial, clean air, water, food, housing, good health, know-how, skills) in collaboration with others committed to supporting Sustainable Development Goals (https://sdgs.un.org/goals). that provides a centralized medium from where all charitable donations can be routed. These donations can be towards NGO causes and packages or towards gifting services such as grocery and education directly to impacts (beneficiaries).

Impact levels are based on the computation of Impact credits, which are described later in the FAQs. Every level is raised after the completion of the required Impact Credits. Impact Levels are as follows:

0-999 Level 0
1000-1999 Level 1
2000-3999 Level 2
4000-7999 Level 3
8000-15999 Level 4
16000-31999 Level 5
32000-63999 Level 6
64000-127999 Level 7

For every charitable donation made through the platform by patrons, they earn impact credits. Each Impact credit is equal to 1 mg of gold. This is dynamically calculated at the time of the donation.

We will be bringing a comprehensive plan for the use of impact credits for the larger good of society where an individual’s impact will be matched by the partner organizations

The services available on the 121 platform are gifting groceries, and education (school, college, university, technical training).

Yes, credit cards are acceptable on 121 platform.
