The Boston Pledge Digital

Given the vast challenges humankind is facing, and the limited resources at hand, TBP introduced the Digital Initiative to transform the underprivileged world and create opportunity for all through fostering entrepreneurship, innovation and mentorship. One of the driving factors of the digital initiative is the ubiquity of the smart phones and broader availability of the Internet that helps even the underprivileged parts of the world to connect and access important developmental resources for progress and growth. TBP sincerely believes that the biggest factor of driving progress is the knowledge and desire to make this world a better place and feels that the digital channel can be leveraged to stimulate development, progress and growth around the world.

Goal: Connect with the underprivileged by developing a strong digital presence through TBP Digital website, app, social media platforms and other online channels.

  • Exchange ideas and inspire development of entrepreneurship, innovation and leadership by developing an online community where young people can come together, express themselves, get the mentorship and resources they need, develop services and solutions for greater good and in the process make themselves self-sufficient and enterprising.
  • Encourage development of leadership, entrepreneurship, academic, literary and artistic skills by conducting online workshops and competitions.
  • Utilize the reach of this platform and data collected to help channel developmental resources and priorities in the right direction.
