So that said, what specifically is your idea? Imagine it's up and running right now. How does it work? How do you raise money? How are you getting it to the starving people? How are you ensuring it is being used effectively? Congrats for wanting to take this on. I tip my cap in your general direction!

In the UK we have a few major financial comparison sites - gocompare, comparethemarkets, moneysupermarket, confused.com to name a few. So, I would like to establish a similar entity, who's profits are directed to charities focussed on feeding hungry kids!

Interesting idea. Seperate from the code and design, have you thought about the financial logistical details (getting and distributing money) as well as the 'deal making' requirements of getting such a project up and running?
