" You may be familiar with current methods of philanthropy through gaming, such as fundraisers through streaming services like Twitch where players can make donations as they watch a game stream, or websites like Humble Bundle that donate a portion of their game sales and subscriptions. These methods are fantastic and have helped to fund a lot of good causes, but what if there was a way to integrate gaming and giving in a way we have not really seen in the gaming industry yet?

Two game studios, Keep•It•Human and Manusamo & Bzika, have put together a gaming architecture that has successfully implemented a new gaming philanthropy method. Their new title, Timbi World, does this by linking progress during gameplay to real world rewards; for instance, if you unlock an in-game skateboard you are helping Timbi World donate an educational skate pack to Maputo Skate in Mozambique, Africa. Through Timbi World's efforts with the Maputo Skate Project hundreds of children are now able to access a skate sporting program that will make a positive difference in their lives - pretty cool! This is just one way this title is making a difference."
