UnlockFood: Ending World Hunger, One Phone at a Time
Industry: Business
The UnlockFood app collects advertising revenue every time a phone is unlocked and then donates the proceeds towards feeding the hungry.
United States (PRUnderground) February 17th, 2017
One in nine people do not have enough food to lead a healthy lifestyle. That means there are 795 million starving people on earth. These statistics might make the task of ending world hunger seem impossible, but not for the team behind the innovative new app called UnlockFood.
Once downloaded, the UnlockFood app places a small banner on the top of a phone’s lock screen, which generates advertising revenue every time someone unlocks their phone. All of the proceeds are used towards feeding hungry people across the world. The Philippines is the first country that UnlockFood will focus their charity efforts on.
“We are transforming a wasted action, like unlocking your phone, into a beautiful act of giving.” explained Adam Howell, the Founder of UnlockFood. “We want to help end the daily suffering of some of the most vulnerable and at-risk people. Our current goal is to feed as many people as possible. In the future, we hope to provide impoverished areas with some of the vital infrastructure they require.”
One of the important features behind the UnlockFood app is that users are very much involved with the process of choosing the charities and countries that the company works with. Users can also track their progress on the app and see how big of an impact they are making each time they unlock their phone.
The UnlockFood app was officially launched on February 8, 2017. The app is completely free to download and is currently available for Android devices. Watch this powerful UnlockFood video to learn more.
