In the digital age, the power of gamification is being harnessed to tackle some of the world’s most pressing issues, and SHARETHEMEAL stands out as a prime example. This innovative app, developed by the United Nations World Food Programme, has turned the act of charity into an engaging, game-like experience that motivates users to contribute more actively to the fight against global hunger.
SHARETHEMEAL leverages the competitive spirit inherent in all of us by introducing challenges and levels that reward users for their generosity. As donors progress through various milestones, they unlock new achievements and get statuses such as “Meal Maverick”, “Hunger Warrior,” “Nourish Ninja”, etc. which not only serve as personal achievements but also encourage healthy competition among peers to do good.
SHARETHEMEAL’s application of gamification principles is a testament to the potential of technology to bring about positive change. By transforming the act of giving into an engaging and rewarding experience, the app not only raises funds to combat hunger but also builds a community of dedicated supporters who are ready to take on the challenge of ensuring no child goes to bed hungry.
P.S. I have been using SHARETHEMEAL for a year, but thanks to the gamification approach of the application, I am now an active user and have just proudly achieved the new level of “Hunger Warrior.” This is why I decided to write this article. I appreciate when technology is a source of positive impact, and I am eager to share this example.
