Kidszip.com is a children’s literature website in seven languages. Parents, teachers, and carers are invited to download and print illustrated stories for quality entertainment or a reading exercise for children 3 to 13 years old.
Kidszip.com operates under a unique economic model, a new form of social enterprise that reinvests 100% of its profits in society. It is a business built by people to serve people. We invest all profits generated at kidszip.com in character-building education of children—teaching honesty, kindness, tolerance, friendship, etc.
We invite parents and teachers to visit the site and download kidszip.com stories "free-of-charge". Browse the site and get a taste of the kidszip.com collection and offers, and once signed up as a free member, build a personalized online library that remains active for life (unless YOU close it).
Free member accounts act as a personalised bookshelf giving passworded access from any computer, at any time. The act of providing children’s literature for free, is made with the support of socially responsible companies. Companies and corporations that care about the future and are dedicated to improving global conditions. Their stories—free of charge to our members—have been "adopted" or "sponsored" by the Company to entertain and pass on a message. This income pays the royalties due and the surplus (profits) for distribution to "education of the heart" programs
Kidszip.com will support registered, not-for-profit organizations implementing programs in developing and industrialized nations—programs that provide character-building education for children around the world. They must satisfy our criteria of responsibility, innovation, and long-term sustainability, as outlined on the
recipient page. Kidszip.com members will be invited to vote what projects carry the highest priority given the urgent need for education for peace and thereby decide where this money will go.
The checks and balance installed by kidszip.com will involve a network of journalists invited to visit the programs and provide critical reporting. These global reporters will guarantee our transparency and efficiency and assure that the programs selected by kidszip.com customers are being advanced in the way the public and kidszip.com intend them to be.
Kidszip.com invests in the most cost-effective, long-term solutions to the problems of today: education of children. Children are the leaders of tomorrow—they are the No.1 priority at kidszip.com. Character-building education of children is the surest means of preventing violence, drug abuse and racial, class, or religious prejudice. Education of children in
universal human values is the most solid foundation of global security and world peace.
The kidszip.com team counts nearly 180 people from over 25 countries. They include writers, illustrators, editors, translators, graphic artists, IT experts, and business managers. The people at kidszip.com work under a royalty structure or as volunteers. Nobody receives a salary. If nothing is sold, nothing is earned. It takes 16 to 20 people to prepare one kidszip.com story. Every time a story is purchased at kidszip.com, about 20% of its cost is paid to the story creators and team contributors; approximately 30% covers fixed operational expenses and new project development; and the remaining 50% is considered “surplus” and is invested in children.
Kidszip.com invites parents, teachers, and child-care professionals to download stories and spend quality time with children. Kidsip.com is here to assure that the cost of this educational entertainment is subsequently invested in other child-benefiting causes, and the online voting platforms provide a means to hear “your voice" about where that money shall be invested.
Writers, illustrators, and people with other skills are welcome to bring their energy and creativity to the team. Sponsors may support the project in full confidence, knowing they are contributing to “education of the heart”—the promise of tomorrow. Socially responsible corporations may join the
profit-making consortium being developed under the kidszip.com model and use this opportunity to advertise and distribute their products and services.
Journalists and media are asked to help spread the word.
Kidszip.com is like a “zip” file, which has the magic of compression. All the necessary elements for change are contained within—they just have to be released. As the project expands, other positive results will flow forth and all members are informed as they do so. The advantage of being a member—is like having ringside tickets to witness world change in the way YOU think it should.
Kidszip. com is here to empower the children of humanity, to warm their hearts, and to give them the “crayons” of creativity, inspiration, and self-confidence to color the world.
