”If I kept doing nothing then nothing would have happened.”

Minu Pauline – Builder of the Tree of Goodness Sharing Fridge in India

Hi there! We’re people building, supporting, promoting & connecting Sharing Centers worldwide, where people can freely, directly and cost-free share food, clothes, books, toys, school supplies, toiletries and other goods within communities.

Problems Worth
Solving

  • Hunger and malnutrition
  • Extreme poverty
  • Lack of basic human needs resources – clothes,
  • books, toys, school supplies, toiletries…
  • Food and other goods waste
  • Engagement of communities

Solution

A quick, easy to implement and efficient solution which already exists and works very successfully around the world – worldwide building and supporting Sharing Centers, where people can freely, naturally and cost-free share food, clothes, books, toys, school supplies, toiletries and other goods within communities.

Idea

  • Creating Sharing centers as small ecosystems, where people within communities help each other and those who have excess provide to those who have a shortage, therefore contributing to the natural balance within the community
  • Eradicating hunger and the lack of basic resources and supporting those in need by means of people helping each other
  • Empowering communities by giving people opportunity, common place and easy access to places where they can share their wealth
  • A natural, simple and efficient way to address food and other goods waste

Goals

  • Helping those in need
  • Empowering communities and strengthening community bonds and solidarity between its members
  • Embracing humanity and giving people the opportunity to share their wealth and becoming better beings
  • Reducing food and other goods waste

Meaning of Word/Logo Helpi

Word Helpi (pronounced /helpi/ with “i” as in “inclusive”) is directly inspired by the Esperanto word “helpi”, in order to express universality and inclusiveness of what we are trying to achieve.

Our logo is then trying to express giving and receiving anything there is to give or receive and colors are those of the sky and stars in order to suggest the limits of what we believe we can achieve with our movement.

Our Dream

Sharing Centers becoming a common reality in every town on earth and sharing growing into a natural and everyday aspect of everyone’s life.
