History[edit]
The word "transparent" has its roots in the Latin word "transparens," which is a combination of "trans" meaning "through" and "parere" meaning "appear." Its etymology suggests the concept of something that allows light to pass through and be clearly seen.[3]
The word "hands" has a long history and serves as a fundamental term in human language and culture. It is derived from the Old English word "hand," which can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "handuz." Throughout history, hands have played a crucial role in human evolution, communication, and cultural development.
The organization derived its name from the combination of the words "transparent" and "hands." "Transparent" represents the organization's commitment to openness, clarity, and accountability in its operations. It reflects the need for transparency in showcasing how donor contributions are utilized to fund medical procedures. "Hands" symbolizes the compassionate and supportive nature of the organization, representing the collective effort of donors, volunteers, and medical professionals in extending a helping hand to those in need.
Crowdfunding for Healthcare Access[edit]
Crowdfunding is a method of fundraising that involves collecting small amounts of money from a large number of individuals, typically through online platforms or social media. It allows organizations and individuals to raise funds for specific projects, causes, or initiatives by reaching out to a wide audience of potential donors.
Transparent Hands utilizes crowdfunding as one of its primary methods for gathering financial support to cover the costs of medical treatments for underprivileged individuals. Through its online platform, the organization showcases the stories and medical needs of patients in need of assistance. Donors from around the world can browse through these profiles, learn about the urgency and severity of each case, and contribute towards the required medical procedures.
Crowdfunding enables Transparent Hands to leverage the power of collective action, tapping into a network of compassionate individuals who are willing to contribute small or large amounts to make a difference. It provides an accessible and transparent channel for donors to directly impact the lives of patients by funding their medical treatments.[4]
