[IMPACT]
A direct contact with the creators building awareness and supporting the community. Giving an art identity, and a voice. Onboarding people that would probably never have the chance otherwise to the Cardano world both individuals as the SOS-village.
We mean to take the childrens art being made in different SOS-villages in Botswana into the Cardano space by making it live in the CNFT space. Through the smart contract we want to make the art live on at the same time giving an identity to the community of wich it came from. In providing them with wallets and unique identities this way a percentage can keep coming to the community in the future. This is step one.
Step two.
Once the first set up and onboarding of the community (different SOS-villages, children withing an so forth) a teaching of how they themselves can do CNFTs and live on withing the Cardano community can be set up. This way we aim to give full ownership to their own future. This last step is very important as we are not just handing over funds or charity money. We want to give responsibllity and not a co-depency as many aid programs do.
To sum up.
Do creative workshop within SOS-childvillages in Botswana.
Transform the output of the art in to CNFTs
Build community online through twitter and Discord.
Set up Wallets on the Cardano network. Build smartcontracts that gives a percentage to the creators in the community in Botswana.
Release the CNFTs on the market.
Teach the community how to do the process themselves. Wash, rince repeat sort of.
By onboardning a new young generation in Botswana that would most likely never had the chance in their lifetime not only do they get a part in Cardano community but will give back to their own community. The art can live on and be a catalyst in their future.
The challenges is the process of onboarding the time that it can take to do all the parts since the NFT side is new.

[AUDITABILITY]
One way is to follow the floorprice of the NFT collection.
But the most significant would be to see a commutiy flourshing through the Discord, twitter and instagram. The buyer of the art can interact with the creators. New networks will arise.
In money turms it would of course be nice to see the work continue to live on and the benefits of all future sales keeping the people involved benefiting. Like a microcosmos within the bigger Cardano community but still part of the global community.
Making enough art to have a good foundation of unique nfts.
Having the community feeling strong and part of the world. Igniting selfconfidence and possibilties to do the same thing on their own.
This is a new proposal.
