The Safety In Number collective is seeking to reach dozen African communities to introduce ADA and any news and trends related to the blockchain.
This will be in a form of content/broadcasts created by the Langbassadors in their native languages selected. The format breakdown will include, but not limited to:

Phase 1 format news broadcast:
Cardano developments
Cardano news
Catalyst developments
Catalyst projects news
Safety In Numbers developments
Local Langbassadors Charity news
Cardano Technical Analysis & Cryptocurrency news in general
Docutainment (in ELI 5 style)
How to use Cardano designated wallets (i.e.Daedalus, Yoroi, Ledger, etc.)
How to stake in Cardano pools
How to send and to receive ADA
How to create accounts in exchange platforms (i.e. Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, etc.) to buy ADA
Other how to's
Phase 2 is all of the above and additionally:
Personal project(s) of the Langhbassor
Safety in Numbers:
Launchpad crowdfunding platform development
Launchpad projects news
This will lead to high-quality content, awareness of Cardano and Project Catalyst and additional traffic (Blockchain users) in the communities selected.
During the refinement phase feedback from the Catalyst community made us change our budget asked in this proposal :
Funding the Langbassadors Loan Fund: $24000 USD
Many potential Langbassadors can spend their time but have no budget to invest in the minimum setup to get started. Therefore, the loan fund will help accelerate in an exponential way the speed of onboarding additional Langbassadors eager to help their local communities for years to come in Africa and throughout the world
No interviewed Langbassador candidate so far objects to paying the Langbassadors Loans back. Therefore, S.I.N. strongly believes in the above mechanism
The S.I.N. Collective would like to ask for sponsoring of a monthly wage of 400 ADA for compensating 12 African Langbassadors for their efforts during their first 3 months of the launch of their specific channel. This would come to 14400 ADA which is roughly $18720 USD ( 1 ADA = 1.3 USD )
Total Requested funds in USD: $42720
As proposed in the Catalyst voters input we will evaluate the performance of each sponsored Langbassador after this 3 month evaluation period and possibly ask for prolonged sponsoring in further Catalyst Fund rounds when KPM's have been met
Also coming from the catalyst voters input is the added criteria that each sponsored Langbassador will have to target a language community of minimally 1 million people
Our KPI's will be measured in the number of subscribers in different social media platforms (i.e. YouTube, Discord, Telegram, Signal, etc). See attached file for details.
