SDG 16 Peace, justice and strong institutions

SDG 16: “Pro­mote peace­ful and inclu­sive soci­eties for sus­tain­able devel­op­ment, pro­vide access to jus­tice for all and build effec­tive, account­able and inclu­sive insti­tu­tions at all lev­els”​

Ambi­tion

Solu­tion

Inno­vate con­tent strat­e­gy in the spir­it “Humans of New York” for Ukraini­ans in and out­side of Ukraine that will bring human­i­ty into the top­ic of the war, high­light human sto­ries and break through pure statistics​.

Expand busi­ness mod­el from tra­di­tion­al sub­scrip­tions and ads income to a self-sus­tain­ing mul­ti-lay­ered approach that includes crowd­sourc­ing, mem­ber­ships, spon­sor­ship agree­ments, natives ads, etc.

Edu­cate and train the new gen­er­a­tion of inde­pen­dent and cre­ative writ­ers.
