User Built, User Managed -- Business dedicated to social good.

READ ALOUD

A-Thimbol, is a Georgia Non-profit, looking for volunteers and directors who are passionate about creating affordable housing solutions in our community. As you'll see in the following letter, we are dedicated to creating a community where everyone has a safe, affordable home. If this vision inspires you, we need your leadership on our board to help make it a reality.

WHO WE ARE: 

We are a social media startup called A-Thimbol Corporation that operates under the brand   thimbol.com.  Through thimbol.com we plan to offer sales and delivery services to a linear community, along a route between Villa Rica west of Atlanta to Midtown Atlanta. 

Our goal is to give local merchants along this route a social media option they manage and operate directly via an open online transparent direct democratic application. This application networks merchants collaboratively, and provides delivery, marketing and online sales options.  We encourage merchants to support our goal of providing affordable sustainable housing, which we hope to build through the income we generate from services rendered.

DIRECT DEMOCRACY APPLICATION 

Our organization is governed by it's user agreement which permits all site users to participate in management, moderated by the Board of Directors who can approve or deny actions or proposals. We govern all activities via a transparent digital online platform where participants can access real-time financial data and follow the progression of corporate initiatives from proposal to implementation.

THE BUSINESS SOLUTION: 

You may have heard of BNI, a business networking organization that connects local professionals through structured referrals in Pennsylvania. Our concept is similar, but with a unique twist. Our business network runs along a corridor from West Georgia to Midtown Atlanta, combining local networking with online sales and delivery. Through our delivery drivers, we connect customers with products and services offered by our member businesses, creating a vibrant “linear community.” Our goal is to boost business activity for our members while providing excellent service to our customers, all in support of our affordable housing project. Profits from this network go directly toward building new housing units and strengthening the community we serve, or can be used for any other social benefit as directed by the organization.    

 THE HOUSING SOLUTION:

Many individuals experiencing homelessness and housing instability are victims of poor family situations and substandard public education. They also face concurrent challenges like mental health conditions and addiction, which creates cycles that are difficult to break without integrated support.  Our solution is a supportive housing community on a 4-acre property west of Atlanta. We offer lease agreements for compact, private one-bedroom off-grid units to individuals experiencing housing instability. A key component of our program is integration with the Thimbol.com platform, which facilitates secure connections between residents and a network of directors, social workers, psychologists, and volunteers. This allows us to provide online vigilance, personalized support and resources aimed at fostering personal growth and stability.
