Project AKAI: Let's Save the World (or at least try)

Hey folks,

I'm R1senDev, a young developer from Russia with a pretty crazy idea that won't let me sleep. The TL;DR: I want to make the world a bit better. How? Say hello to Project AKAI (Anti-Kid Abuse Initiative).

What’s the Project About?

The goal is simple, yet ambitious: leverage technology to fight a problem most people prefer not to talk about for some reason — child abuse.

Here’s the idea:

Build a platform to collect and analyze data that can help identify people with dangerous tendencies.

Bridge the gap between tech and government authorities in as many countries as possible to make sure this data is used effectively.

Launch massive campaigns to raise awareness, attract volunteers, and fund the project.

Why "AKAI"? Because it sounds cool (kidding, but also not). In Japanese, 赤い means "red". Red symbolizes urgency and the need for immediate action.


Who Am I Looking For?

Anyone who wants to do something bigger than another pet project on GitHub. If you’re:

A Developer (web, backend, or AI enthusiast) — there’s plenty to do.

A Designer (UI/UX) — to make sure our site doesn’t look like a glorified Excel sheet.

A Writer/Marketer — we need to explain to the world why this matters.

Just Someone Who Cares — trust me, we’ll find a way for you to help.


How Can You Join?

Drop me a comment or mail me. Let me know how you’d like to contribute, or just say, "I’m in!"

(For some reason, mailto:... link doesn't work for my device, so I live here: my@risenanderson.ru.)


Why Does This Matter?

This isn’t just another portfolio project. It’s a chance to make a real impact. We won’t save the whole world, but if we can help even one child, that’s a win.

So, who’s with me? Let’s give it a shot.
