LOS ANGELES, Aug. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Motiv, a non-profit organization using Bitcoin to fight poverty in poor countries, announces that it has launched a series of life-saving stepping stones programs in Peru to educate and equip underdeveloped communities with job skills training , technology infrastructure, education, business support and personal guidance among others.
Motiv originally created the Life Saving Step program to provide communities with proper footwear to fight disease and to educate them about why proper footwear is important. The program has already eliminated up to 15% mortality in young children in remote locations such as the Andes and the Amazon. As Motiv began building more Bitcoin Circular Economies™, their initiatives have evolved into a series of established programs to help with the basic needs of sustainable living.
These programs serve as the platform on which Bitcoin Circular Economies™ are built.
Motiv programs include:
- Pay with Bitcoin Motiv’s introductory program for personal banking and finance and how individuals can use Bitcoin as currency in everyday life.
- IVEM (inclusive vocational education movement)- A skills training program that helps create jobs and prepare people who choose to pursue higher education.
- Entrepreneurship for all- Intended for individuals who have graduated from IVEM and have chosen to pursue a career in entrepreneurship. Provides training, guidance, funding opportunities and ongoing mentorship to build businesses that trade in Bitcoin to contribute to community and individual development.
- Motif Kids- Dedicated to providing minors with quality education, social enrichment and extracurricular skill development with the intent of breaking the cycle of poverty and violence.
- Motif Tech- Develops and maintains Motiv’s technological infrastructure, hardware and software for internal and commercial use.
- Theme Nexus- Motiv’s in-house branch of infrastructure, service providers and retail that serves as vocational and career training centers and as wholesale distributors for other Motiv programs.
“We created these programs because we felt that everyone deserves to have education and access to basic skills to survive on a daily basis,” said Richard Swisher, CEO and co-founder of Motiv, Inc. “With the implementation of our programs, people we serve receive support and funds to help build their own communities.”
Motiv will continue to expand these Life Saving Step programs as it expands its reach into Argentina, Guatemala and Jamaica. Motiv continues to evaluate community needs globally, allowing them to create and implement new programs worldwide.
