The Cosmopolis App is Becoming the Gamified Matchmaking Service For Good Deeds in the Humanitarian World

Summary: Cosmopolis, a platform that brings together helpers and help-seekers, works in several African nations, providing opportunities for local people in exchange for good deeds.

Cosmopolis App is a marketplace for Help Offers and Help Requests. If a user answers a Help Request, they receive Help Points that they can use to access more Help Offers. Help Offers typically include all kinds of donations from large companies and enterprises, as well as food, water, clothing, and more non-food items. Cosmopolis also cares about purchasing goods from undervalued providers who are Help Seekers and who are discovered by Cosmopolis Field Officers in struggling regions. The goods of undervalued providers are also listed on the platform as rewards for good deeds and can be earned or purchased with Help Points.

To show who helped the most, Cosmopolis publishes the 100 Helpers Hotlist based on the number of Help Points a person or company has acquired.

As global connectivity continues to transform the world, Cosmopolis has emerged as a force for good, bridging divides and fostering a vibrant community that brings together helpers and help-seekers, leveraging human connections for positive change. The organization was founded by Paula Schwarz, whose journey from investment management to social entrepreneurship has been marked by initiatives such as the social enterprise incubator Startupboat and the World Datanomic Forum.

At the heart of Cosmopolis’ mission is the belief in a cashless, post-capitalist economy that incentivizes people to do good. The platform serves as a catalyst for unity and progress, connecting individuals across Rwanda, Nigeria, Kenya, and Uganda, transcending national and geographical barriers, as well as creating a global community with abundant support and opportunity.

Extending its outreach outside the continent of Africa, Cosmopolis intends to offer beach clean-up initiatives to volunteers and individuals seeking employment opportunities across Europe and the rest of the world. In particular, Cosmopolis explores its impending development within Greece and Australia, where beaches are abundant and the demand for a clean, safe landscape is increasingly clear – especially along the Australian coastline, as the region has experienced a rise in stormwater pollution in recent years.

The organization aggressively invests in infrastructure development which includes its own fleet and storage system in order to pick up and deliver goods and services reliably and timely.

Cosmopolis App works with a research team led by De Kai at the University of Berkeley and the University of Hong Kong to identify misinformation on the platform.

In Africa alone, Cosmopolis has successfully onboarded more than 4,000 helpers and help seekers, including skilled, semi-skilled, and unskilled individuals. Cosmopolis has pioneered initiatives like online fashion workshops and purchases creations from local fashion designers, showcasing their talent and attracting good deeds and more clients for the designers with them by uploading them to Cosmopolis in exchange for Help Points.

Looking ahead, Cosmopolis aims to further empower undervalued producers such as young indigenous designers in Nigeria by providing access to an international community of people who want to do good. By providing education, office locations, and access to materials, Cosmopolis not only nurtures local talent but also stimulates economic growth and community resilience.

As Cosmopolis continues to expand its footprint globally, Paula and her dedicated team remain committed to realizing their vision of a world where good deeds have value and reliable human connections can pave the way for sustainable progress. Through innovation, empathy, and strategic partnerships, Cosmopolis is redefining how people internationally can help each other and what inclusive economies and communities can look like.

Global Partners Push Good Deeds Even Further

The STEM Fellow 2024 of Global Women in Asia, Tee Ganbold is helping Cosmopolis expand with her company Improvability AI. This award-winning partner of Cosmopolis creates automated reports on the sustainability performance of a company. Cosmopolis suggests good deeds for the employees and management of the company to significantly increase the social responsibility footprint transparently in a very short period based on the results of the report.

This partnership between Improvability AI and Cosmopolis App can lead a company to quickly rise on the Helpers 100 Hotlist and demonstrate a new way in which AI clearly helps humanity on a large scale.
