Humanitarian Online Marketplace to Create Income Streams for War
Widows in the Middle-East
Wyndstorm Corporation Hired to Develop Project
WASHINGTON (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) March 26, 2008 --
Impoverished women in non-western nations are beginning to receive a
helping hand from individuals, companies and humanitarian groups in the
U.S. and abroad. One such example is Tampa, Florida-based entrepreneur,
Jodie Sweezey, a Marine Captain reservist whose company One Starry Nite…
LLC contracted social media technology and online marketing company Wyndstorm
Corporation (OTCBB:PKCM) to develop OneStarryNite.com,
a humanitarian e-commerce effort to create income streams for women in
the Middle East, Asia and South America.
"The spark for this idea came to me during my two tours in Iraq. There,
I saw the need to take action to help women," said Sweezey, founder of
One Starry Nite… LLC. "For example, in Iraq
once someone is a widowed, they are completely reliant upon a male
family member of their family or their former husband’s
family to provide for them. In some areas, such as Al Anbar (a province
east of Bagdad), 50 to 60 percent of the women are illiterate and don’t
have a skill necessary to earn a living."
According to Sweezey, humanitarian groups are working internationally to
train women and prepare them with micro-business management skills. In
cooperation with these local efforts, OneStarryNite.com will purchase
handcrafts directly from the women and/or women's coops and become a
non-exclusive online sales channel. The e-commerce Website will sell a
myriad of things, including handmade purses, jewelry, clothing, baskets,
and holiday items.
"Wyndstorm Corporation is a dynamic and creative full service technology
company that designs, builds, hosts and manages online social networks,"
said Marian Sabety, Wyndstorm Corporation CEO.
“This opportunity allows our team to do what
we do best – apply social network technology
and online marketing to a complex social media program, that ties
together people from around the world to share and support families in
need. We look forward to helping those creative and accomplished
artisans share their goods with us, and in turn, let us appreciate their
gifts. Our focus for this project is to build a global online
marketplace for goods made around the world, with a user experience that
extends the reach of helpful hands,” said
Sabety.
