COMMUNITY PURPOSE
The community purpose of steemkids community is to touch the lives of kids all over the world through steemit. We focus on kids and we make sure that our activities are for kids.
We are focused on recruiting, mentoring and rewarding these kids through our various projects. These kids around the world matter to us and we love them so much that is why we want to help them develop and join the whole world as it is advancing towards the Blockchain and it's technologies.
Steemkids community does not discriminate and as such we welcome every child with an open arm despite their background or status. We have members who love and cherish kids a lot and thus produce contents that the kids around the world benefit from. These kids are as well learning so fast. Their contents and it's quality shows that they have found a home where they can relax and do their things in steemkids community.
The number of verified kids are increasingly increasing which shows that we are really focussed on the kids.
We are not going to shrink back this coming month and continues. We are going to keep making improvements to ensure that we catch these kids young through our various projects.
Roadmap/ Proposed Projects
To reach the kids around the world and onboard them, we have various projects that are ongoing.
- Our catch them young recruitment contest.
This contest has been ongoing for more than a month now and continues. These has given rise to a good number of kids being recruited and most have fulfilled the requirements of joining steemkids community and are verified. It will interest you to note that we have 37 kids who have joined us and many more are still in the pipeline. We accept kids between the ages of 8 to 18 who can read and write and who have the basic requirements to blog. Below are the verified kids.

To help retain these kids and help them feel at home, I have created a group in telegram, known as s-kids corner. The essence of this group is to interact with these kids and these will help us to know the most active kids for each week and thus reward the child, to encourage him or her and thus move others to be active as well. It is just a new group, soon the kids will start joining.
It will interest you to note that we have recently added steemkids community cryptoacademy where @benton3 is taking the kids on cryptoacademy lessons. He always try his best to breakdown the courses such that it will be easier for the kids to understand.
we accept publications on areas that can benefit kids like, we have various hashtags which can give kids lovers and even our kids the type of publications to make in the community. They include
#kids-health (Mondays): publications related to health and wellness.
#kids-educative (Tuesdays): publications where people can create content intended to teach others.
#kids-natural (Wednesdays): publications where acts of preservation of the environment or acts related to environmental care are made.
#kids-sports (Thursdays): publications related to sports and physical activities that children can develop.
#kids-food (Friday): publications related to desserts, sweets, and special foods that children can make together with their parents.
#kids-art (Saturdays): publications to demonstrate the creativity of children through drawings, paintings, photography, constructions, etc.
#savebypowerup (Sundays): publications related to the increase of the SP the account of the members of the community through
We know that it is during school period that we can carry out most of our projects. For the month of August and early September, most schools have been on vacation but most have resumed this month of late September and so we still have in mind to carry out the following projects in various schools which will help us onboard more kids.
✓Onboarding high school kids
✓ Training and mentorship
✓ Holding seminars in various schools
✓ Empowering the kids who don't have the basic necessities to operate in steemit like helping them with data and in some cases, with smart phones.
✓ Health and nutritional Articles
✓ Child support and protection awareness campaign
✓ Child Labour awareness campaign.
✓ Child education awareness campaign
✓ SKills acquisition program
- We will continue our vacation projects where we have teachers who publish weekly lessons and assignments for the Verified kids. We also reward the kids for their participation. The essence of continuing this is for those kids who are not back to school and those who are disadvantaged and are out of school.
COMMUNITY TEAM
The following persons are the community team who have been tirelessly working to ensure that the community keeps growing despite the limited resources.
@ngoenyi- Admin and founder- Nigeria- English
@focusnow- Admin- Nigeria- English
@peachyladiva- Admin- Nigeria- English
@benton3- MOD Abd Admin- Nigeria- English
@eliany- MOD- Nigeria- English
@goodybest- MOD- Nigeria- English
@meymeyshops- MOD- Nigeria- English
@saracampero- MOD- Venezuela- Spanish
@mariajruizb- MOD- Venezuela- Spanish
@graceleon- MOD- Agentina- Spanish and other languages
@psicoparades- MOD- Venezuela- Spanish
@event-horizon- MOD- Asia- English and Urdu.
@alejos7ven- MOD- Venezuela-Spanish
We are all committed to our service and as such we carry out our duties without discrimination. Our delimitation is the whole world that is why we are 13 from various major regions of the world.
Most of our team members are involved in running the community and they sometimes receive rewards though not fixed.
Community Curation Account
@steemkidss is the community curation account for steemkids community. All the community publications are made using that account and all rewards and earnings go to the account wallet
- Effective steempower is 14,060.68 SP, 5,275.13 is the community's steempower while 8,785.55 is delegated.
Voting CSI: we have 81 upvotes, 62 accounts, last 7d )
At 100% the community account alone votes at $0.24
We are also building a curation trail using the community account and we have 176 followers and we are ranking 6th in number among the most popular. At 100%, we vote at $1.02. we are still building it.
The #savebypowerup contest we do every Sunday is helping us to grow our steempower. We now have +5000 steempower as a result and we will continue to build our steempower so as to enable us support the kids that join us regularly.
Our next target is to hit +10000 steempower before the next application. This is because, we are targeting a long term +50000sp before we clock one year
Are all the post rewards powered up, or are they used for paying delegators or members of the community team?
Not all rewards are powered up because we pay out mod awards and The rewards we are going to pay delegators are curation rewards. Because this community has a going concern in mind, we reward the mods to be able to keep the account separated from our personal accounts. This is in line with the entity principle of accounting which says that the business is a being or entity just like the owner and thus deserve to have a separate life from that of it's owner. So the earnings of the community account is not withdrawn for personal use but for purposes concerning the community.
We have recently started paying Delegators. With the help of @alejos7ven, we did a text run for close to one week and then set it to be a monthly payment to be paid out every 1st of the month. The payment is just 80% of the curation rewards that is given to the delegators.
We have been powering up every week in our #savebypowerup Sunday contest and this has been helping us to grow our steempower. If not for the rewards and prices of the contests we run in the community, all our earnings would have just been for powerups and nothing more. But we will keep making sure that most of the earnings are powered up especially after expenses. This we can't achieve without support.
Plagiarism & Abuse
It is the duty of every MOD on duty to check for plagiarism and abuse. We all join hands together to fish out plagiarized contents and advice them accordingly.
We have recently added @endingplagiarism as one of our MODs so that he can help us with that.
The penalty for offenders is that such persons are not supported with our community curation account neither do we choose the publication as best picks of the day. However, we have not gotten serious offender or stubborn abuser. If we do, we will mute such. Plagiarism is an urgly threat, and so we have zero tolerance of it.
Engagement & Commenting
Steemit has the social aspect. In fact, it is a social media platform which aims at connecting individuals together. And as such, there is need for members to engage with one another. This can only be achieved through comments.
We at steemkids community try as much as possible to comment on publications using the community official account. MODs as well try their best to ensure that no publication pays out without comments.
Steemkidss community has also created a telegram group where all members are expected to drop their post links. The rules guiding it is that for each link you drop, you must make comments on at least 2 other posts and go back to the group and indicate which you have commented on. This way, members are helped to engage with one another.
It will interest you to note that most our our quality posts for each day are picked from that group and this has encouraged members to use that post links group
Updates
It is just ideal for communities to publish weekly updates of the progress they have made for the week. This helps to evaluate performances and encourage improvements. We at steemkids community publish weekly updates. This is the link to the last update that we published.
Promotion
Promotion of steem and the community is one of the things we hold so dear. We do not toil with it because we truly understand the benefits.
Our community ambassadors are doing great in this aspect, taking the lead in promoting steem to the world.
We have our branded t-shirts that we use every Tuesday to promote steem.
Below are the t-shirts for the promotion. Starting with the cities we are residing, Uyo city, where our ambassador no. 01 is residing to other cities like where our other ambassadors are residing like @charis20 and her team even others around the world. No wonder the number of verified kids are increasing.
We are live on discord channel, telegram and Facebook. We promote the community as well as steemit
Our operation #catchthemyoung contest is geared towards that direction of promoting steem to the world.
Our holiday lessons project helped to promote steem because most kids signed up so that they can participate.
Now that school has resumed, plans are on ground to promote steem in schools. I have printed t-shirts for kids who will participate in competitions and win. This way, both parents, teachers and kids can learn about steemit and get the chance to join us.
What Else?
We deserve the community support program to continue because, our @skids-charity will be in full use from now that school has opened. We want to hold competitions in school and support less previllaged kids with the resources there. Without the support, it will be hard to accomplish.
We deserve to receive this month's support because we want to continue with our projects. We are focusing on a group (kids) who need assistance and support. We reward them and those who teach them.
If we get the support, it will help us to keep building our steempower which in turn will help us to support these kids. Like I promised in my last application for September that I will always keep building the community account through power ups, this I have continued without let irrespective of how little our earnings are. The community earnings can never be diverted for something else other than what it is meant for which is to support kids and build steempower of the community account.
We encourage only #steemexclusive publications.
Schools have opened and as such our promotional activities will be targeted on school kids. This support will help us carry out these promotions in earnest.
- we are still looking out for professionals in kneading, crafts, computer trainer and any other relevant skills that the kids should learn at their early stage to empower them. With the promotion we are doing, we will soon get these ones as arrangements are ongoing already for it.
CONCLUSION
I strongly believe in your good heart and good judgement as those who will not allow the kids around the world to go unsupported. So, I am certain that you will give us a positive and kind consideration again as those who are yet to build their reputation and steempower so as to support these little kids who are struggling to survive in this harsh and unlovely world. I believe that as they are joining us, they will find solace, comfort and relief here in the steemkids community and steemit at large.
Yours, @ngoenyi
For steemkids community
It is my delight to submit my application for this coming month of September as requested by you. Steemkids community was established with so much love for the kids around the world.
COMMUNITY PURPOSE
The rebranded purpose is to Reach out, Recruit, Mentor and Reward the kids around the world who have the basic necessities to write and post in steemkids community and steemit at large.
Every child matters to us and deserve all the best things in life. we aim at supporting children around the world to reach their full potential irrespective of their environment or their limitations. To encourage people to support children in every form no matter the social status, religious background, ethnicity and class
Steemkids community is not country or language bound. We accept and embrace kids of all races.
Roadmap/ Proposed Projects
Because we want to connect the whole kids around the world, we are embarking on projects that will benefit them.
Our proposed projects include but not limited to the following
✓ Onboarding high school kids
✓ Training and mentorship
✓ Holding seminars in various schools
✓ Empowering the kids who don't have the basic necessities to operate in steemit like helping them with data and in some cases, with smart phones.
✓ Health and nutritional Articles
✓ Child support and protection awareness campaign
✓ Child Labour awareness campaign.
✓ Child education awareness campaign
✓ SKills acquisition program
Steemkids community is open to all kids from the age of 8 and above so long as the child can read and write.
COMMUNITY TEAM
The following persons are the community team who have been tirelessly working to ensure that the community keeps growing despite the limited resources.
@ngoenyi- Admin and founder- Nigeria- English
@focusnow- Admin- Nigeria- English
@peachyladiva- Admin- Nigeria- English
@benton3- MOD Abd Admin- Nigeria- English
@eliany- MOD- Nigeria- English
@goodybest- MOD- Nigeria- English
@meymeyshops- MOD- Nigeria- English
@saracampero- MOD- Venezuela- Spanish
@mariajruizb- MOD- Venezuela- Spanish
@graceleon- MOD- Agentina- Spanish and other languages
Due to the little resources the community has, team members are not paid yet. But will soon start receiving weekly supports in steem as a token for their selfless service to the community. With time, the kids who have grown to understand the platform will join in the team.
All the team members are involved in running the community. We take turns to work with the community account.
Community Curation Account
@steemkidss is the community curation account
From the screenshot below, we have +2000sp, +10000 delegation out of which 6000sp delegation is from the award we won from participating in August I SPUD4STEEM promotion as we came 3rd. With this steempower, we vote at $0.23 if the account is fully recharged.
We have also recently started building our curation trail. We have more than 50 followers and with it, if fully recharged, we vote at +$0.90.
We are still building the community account by adding it as part of our contest rules and a verification requirements for members to either join our curation trail or delegate to us.
The community is still relatively new as it is approaching it's 2nd month. Building the account has not really been easy since the community has not been getting much support. Most of the community posts pay out with nothing and as such, the little earnings are used to run the community.
The powerup exercise that was done this past August I SPUD4STEEM promotion, was done my own contrbution of 1000steem in addition with the community earnings. But when our resources improve, most of the post earnings will be powered up after all expenses are met. We really need this community support to help us build the community account.
Are all the post rewards powered up, or are they used for paying delegators or members of the community team?
Well, for now, we don't have much rewards yet due to lack of support. And as such we don't power up all our rewards. But we managed to power up when we participated in the spud4steem promotion. Earnings are not yet enough to take care of expenses but with time, we will do all that it takes to power up most of our earnings.
- For the past one week, we have been able to use our little resources to upvote +70 on 53 accounts.
We support those who have delegated to us and those who join our curation trail so long as the post abide by all rules. We are still growing and we will keep applying measures that ensure that only quality posts are supported with the community account.
Most of the admins and MODs on duty vote with the account to ensure that everyone is treated fairly. But so far, there has not been any abuse if we notice such, an action will be taken to ensure compliance.
Whoever that is making use of the account ensures that they vote as early as the account is fully recharged and then stop once the manner gets to 85% or more. This way, it can be able to recharge fully for the next day.
Plagiarism & Abuse
All admins and MODs check for plagiarism in all posts that are made in the community. We use plagiarism checker and if we dictate any abuse, we quickly give warning. Depending on the gravity of the offense, we give mild or strong warning to the offenders. But mostly, @eliany and @goodybest along with others are seriously keeping watch.
Engagement & Commenting
We encourage all admins, MODs and infact all members to engage with others. We have a post promotion group where we encourage all members to drop their links. They are to engage with other people's post before dropping theirs, this way, we ensure that no post expires without comments.
Updates
We make sure that we post community update to enable all see clearly were the community is headed. We do so when the need arise and we make sure we pin it for all that comes into the community to see.
Promotion
We are live on discord channel, telegram and Facebook. We promote the community as well as steemit.
We host both weekly and weekend contest and we reward participants. First, we give a large portion of the reward pool to the contest winners and the ad a compensation, share a little portion of the reward pool to other Participants to encourage them since we don't have booming support for this month. That way, we have managed to keep our active posters between 90 and 115. Our current total subscribers are 701 and compared to the current active posters ad at the time of this application which is 110, we have
15.69%.
One of the ongoing contest in the community is about Recruitment. We want to recruit not less than 100 kids before the end of that contest which will last for 2 weeks. This will definitely promote the community and steemit at large.
We want to henceforth allow only our verified kids to participate in most of our projects like the holiday/ Vacation lessons we are running weekly. This will surely create huge impact in the lives of this kids.
We have steemkids community teachers who release their lessons weekly and we reward both teachers and participants.
- Our community t-shirts are being printed. It will soon be ready, here is a sample. Every member is free to print his or her own but for the kids, with time, we will support them to print theirs from their various locations. But any user can support any kid to print the t-shirts and it will be highly appreciated.
What Else?
We deserve to receive this month's support because we are new and we need to encourage active posters in the community especially the kids.
Our resources are very small. As soon as 3 weeks elapses, the 6000 delegation we got from winning spud4steem promotion will be taken back and this will drastically reduce our voting value. But the support, if given to us will help us build our steempower. I promise that most of the earnings will be powered up to build the steempower because I know that we will not forever depend on the support. We definitely have to build ours. Plans are underway to recruit investors that will join our curation trail. This will surely help.
We encourage only #steemexclusive publications.
We have a lot of schools to run our promotional activities and we need resources to do so. Since they are school kids, we will have to support them in whichever way possible.
We will try to engage professionals in kneading, crafts, computer trainer and any other relevant skills that the kids should learn at their early stage to empower them.
CONCLUSION
I am confident that as kindhearted team, you will consider our application in a position light and include us in this September community support program. Thank you so much for anticipated favourable response.
