A missing link can often solve a myriad of problems, complete a puzzle or simply allow you to have that satisfying ‘light bulb’ moment of clarity. An online initiative, the Kopernik website is a social, humanitarian and technological missing link that progresses equality in the developing world. A not-for-profit online store and think tank, Kopernik connects bright ideas and technological advancements with communities in need. Funded by public donations, the general public can jump online to vote and donate to proposed community programs (such as fresh water transportation or affordable eye glasses). Once adequate funds have been raised, the chosen project is then set into motion. Designed with poor communities in mind, Kopernik’s projects aim to fast track development by bringing state-of-the art technology to parts of the world that desperately need a helping hand.
