Community guidelines

What we expect from students, donors, and mentors who use the platform — and what we promise in return.

Respect & kindness

Treat everyone with empathy. We're here to support each other's education, not to judge.

Safety first

Privacy and safety are non-negotiable. We enforce strict standards on both sides of the platform.

Inclusive community

Every student, regardless of background, deserves the chance to ask for help and get it.

What's encouraged

Educational content

Share study tips, milestones, and educational resources.

Supportive messages

Encourage and motivate other students on their journey.

Professional networking

Connect with mentors and donors in a professional way.

Success stories

Share your achievements — they inspire other students.

Constructive feedback

Offer respectful, helpful feedback to support growth.

Resource sharing

Pass along scholarships, programs, and learning resources.

What's not allowed

Harassment or bullying

No hate speech, threats, or targeted harassment of any kind.

Spam or scams

No commercial spam, phishing, or fraudulent activity.

Sharing private information

Don't share personal contact details or private info of others.

Contact without consent

Meetings and any move to phone, video, or other outside channels happen only when the other person explicitly agrees. Students can refuse any contact, at any time. Off-platform interactions are at your own judgment and risk, and you should confirm they are safe before agreeing. Report anything concerning, on or off the platform.

Academic dishonesty

No sharing test answers, plagiarism, or cheating assistance.

Inappropriate content

No explicit, violent, or sexually inappropriate content.

Impersonation

Don't pretend to be someone else or create fake accounts.

All messages stay on the platform so we can investigate if something goes wrong.
