Humanitarian Online Marketplace to Create Income Streams for War Widows in the Middle-East

WASHINGTON--(EON:Enhanced Online News)--Impoverished women in non-western nations are beginning to receive a helping hand from individuals, companies and humanitarian groups in the U.S. and abroad. One such example is Tampa, Florida-based entrepreneur, Jodie Sweezey, a Marine Captain reservist whose company One Starry Nite… LLC contracted social media technology and online marketing company Wyndstorm Corporation (OTCBB:PKCM) to develop OneStarryNite.com, a humanitarian e-commerce effort to create income streams for women in the Middle East, Asia and South America.

“Wyndstorm Corporation is a dynamic and creative full service technology company that designs, builds, hosts and manages online social networks”

"The spark for this idea came to me during my two tours in Iraq. There, I saw the need to take action to help women," said Sweezey, founder of One Starry Nite… LLC. "For example, in Iraq once someone is a widowed, they are completely reliant upon a male family member of their family or their former husband’s family to provide for them. In some areas, such as Al Anbar (a province east of Bagdad), 50 to 60 percent of the women are illiterate and don’t have a skill necessary to earn a living."

According to Sweezey, humanitarian groups are working internationally to train women and prepare them with micro-business management skills. In cooperation with these local efforts, OneStarryNite.com will purchase handcrafts directly from the women and/or women's coops and become a non-exclusive online sales channel. The e-commerce Website will sell a myriad of things, including handmade purses, jewelry, clothing, baskets, and holiday items.

"Wyndstorm Corporation is a dynamic and creative full service technology company that designs, builds, hosts and manages online social networks," said Marian Sabety, Wyndstorm Corporation CEO.

“This opportunity allows our team to do what we do best – apply social network technology and online marketing to a complex social media program, that ties together people from around the world to share and support families in need. We look forward to helping those creative and accomplished artisans share their goods with us, and in turn, let us appreciate their gifts. Our focus for this project is to build a global online marketplace for goods made around the world, with a user experience that extends the reach of helpful hands,” said Sabety.
