Community Light-Hub (Braving Pandemic in times of crisis)

Local communities are powering the system: 1. Localized activation hubs which are Info/ resources - these are Kickstarter/ triggers, which are triggered by the crisis itself. With the trigger it motivates the local leaders to come together, and pull resources, finds required to start preparing for crisis and managing be like the beacon of light/ fire, setting off other hubs within its network. 2. The activation hub will be run by local volunteers and the community who will be building a network, which will form as a base of awareness/and a repository of knowledge in times of peace, and setting up local agreements with partners and community. An asset-light model followed to utilize existing infrastructure during a crisis for immediate action, response. 3. Solution directly addresses the needs of people in crisis who are driven by need, who don't care about their personal safety, or even pandemic. who put their needs first ahead of personal safety during pandemics. 4. We are unique because we are keeping the activation hub functioning in times of peace and pandemic. It is run by volunteers building the knowledge repository, local networks, and keeping it active and relevant to the local community's needs. 5.We have identified a gap between the grass community and existing charities and networks which needs to be filled, with quicker response, direct access to resources, and good information flow so that help could be directed to those who need it most. 6. This has been highlighted as a problem for many peace-building networks.7. This will be driven 100% by a community effort, however, we will equip it with the right tools, such as communication channels & networks, and bring the whole service design experience to the community by giving them a simple blueprint that can be adaptable to local community context, with touchpoints identified.
