one of the things standing in the way between the idea and its realization is resources. As a nation, Indonesia has an impressive range of resources, whether natural, social and even money. What we lacked is the connectivity of resources to produce something great. Without connectivity, our individual resources are limited only to people who know where to go and what to do about it.

In this age of the Internet, the word "connect" is taken to a whole new level. The Internet connects not only people, but their resources and potential to do something great - together! Now, do not mind the country - gotong royong

Think about the last event you went ?; this event to two or three hours probably took months of planning, people don their gray matter, and many other factors to run. When a project or event is well organized, carefully thoughtout and strategically planned, then you really need one more piece of resources: money. Waiting around an anonymous donor to fall from the sky, while clinging to hope on the concept of "build and they will come", can only go so far; there must be another way to fly in funds for a project.

The good people of Kita Bisa are aware of this situation. Instead of depending on a single donor, Kita Bisa uses the power of mass appeal; they bridge the needs of a project to the whole of Indonesia (and the world) resources. Kita Bisa connects many resources to support the development and innovation projects in Indonesia.

Kita Bisa is a platform crowd-funding line that is a clearinghouse for current projects in Indonesia, as well as a vessel through which the practicality of giving money for the said project is available. The site is accessible from virtually anywhere in the world and uses payment methods such as Paypal and credit card transactions.

After the success of similar online crowd funding platforms in the US, such as Kickstarter, Kita Bisa works to reproduce the effect in Indonesia, catering to projects in need of support financial in humanity, social and environmental sector. The initial idea to create Kita Bisa came from Alfatih Timur (Timmy) during his final year as a student at the University of Indonesia in 2012. The launched website July 6, 2013, following support Timmy mentor, Professor Rhenald Kasali.

The first draft Kita Bisa was one of his most successful to date; #savemaster the project. The word "master" is the abbreviation of Masjid Terminal, which is a school of Jakarta especially for marginalized children was named for its location was near a mosque and a train station. The school was in danger of being displaced by the government. A couple of students from the University of Indonesia who have been affected by these new set up a petition on change.org overturnthe to the government's decision on the relocation of the valuable school and in partnership with Kita Bisa for a fundraising campaign through its website www.kitabisa.co. id. The result was a staggering US $ 12,000, which helped the school to remain in its original location and improve its facilities.

The machine is powered by Kita Bisa people who keep projects like these to heart. They see themselves as the "doers" in the system Kita Bisa. As one of the doers, Vikra Ijas, which is mainly in charge of marketing and partnerships, said about the platform, "I am convinced that Kitabisa is something that will be a game changer, and there is an inherent need for it in a developing country like Indonesia. in short, it is to put the "power" to the people to decide what and who should get funding. "the site's layout is fun and exciting, and very stimulates the spirit of giving. the design is designed with the partner Kita Bisa, Fajrin Rasyid and superb Costume Media team.

Like other websites crowd-funding, revenue Kita Bisa just a small percentage of funds from a project. These impactful projects funding targets ranging from a few million rupees to hundreds of millions of Rupiah. to fund a successful project through flat Platforms crowd-funding of this kind of cooperation project managers to promote and disseminate their fundraising campaign is a crucial aspect to successfully achieve their fundraising goals. "It is up to educate users and owners of the project on how to use the platform and make the most of the funding of the crowd. Because when we all make a collaborative effort, we can achieve things beyond our imagination, "said Vikra.

Donors are rewarded not only by the joy of helping a project in need, some projects give pleasure and benefits of creative compensating, as commodities , opportunities to meet and dine with influential people or tickets to the events of the project. All the benefits are generally adapted to the amount of donated funds.

Kita Bisa is now moving to its site 2.0, which will be launched on 1 September 2014. Coupled with this exciting new version Kita Bisa has many projects in partnership with line like a youth leadership event that will feature Muhammad Yunus, a local startup company that deals kain perca (shredded tissue / used) in new fresh, and their biggest campaign yet, which is to raise funds for a mobile unit of blood donors, in cooperation with the Indonesian Red Cross.

Kita Bisa, or literally "We Can" in English, is a slogan which in itself promotes a spirit can do attitude - a collective effort. many efforts could move mountains; mountains can be hard to climb when you are by your lonesome self. Overall, it is a piece of cake for a rise. ! Kita Bisa
