We all know what needs to change, none of us know how. Very few of us are sure of what we can do to drive that change. Hopefully we at theResPage can help answer that question.
It happens so often that even though we have the will to help and contribute, some of us don’t have the monetary resources, some of us don’t have the time and some of us don’t know how/where to contribute. But all of us SHOP don’t we 😉
What if every time you shopped at your favourite Online Store say a Flipkart or a Jabong, a small part of your spend is donated to a charity you CHOOSE. You don’t pay a penny extra and you contribute doing something you would anyways do- SHOP.
This is what we have come up with- www.therespage.com (the Responsible Homepage). You just have to click on “Shop and Contribute” to get started. You can then click on the NGO/Social Cause you wish to select and finally click on any of our partner shops, you are redirected and you shop as usual. Once you have made a purchase we receive a small commission from the Partner store that we donate.
Currently our partners include Flipkart/Jabong/Yatra/Domino’s/Freecharge among others. So you can help every time you buy a book or a flight ticket or even order a pizza or get a phone recharge
Just as an example Nanhi Kali (one of our NGO partners) requires Rs. 200 per month to teach a girl child. One Flight Ticket booking or a purchase on Myntra/FoodPanda can raise this amount; yes one flight booking through us can send a girl child to school for a month.
We launched on the 1st of April and in 20 days have raised above Rs. 1,600/-, with more than Rs. 20,000 of combined shopping through us. This is just the beginning, with the Indian e-commerce market touching $14 billion we truly believe a lot of difference can be made through this.
We hope a time comes when India shops through www.therespage.com. We are designed as a Homepage so that you never forget making an impact is so easy. We give you a very simple uncluttered Home with your favourite Google Search and links to your favourite sites.
We will incrementally better both- Your HomePage experience and simplify your shopping experience so that it makes more sense to shop through us.
Product Development and getting the idea across to people are the next challenges; we hope you guys can help us in that. Spread the word if you like what we are doing. You can also find us on FACEBOOK and/or follow us on TWITTER.
It never really was simpler and now no one really has an excuse of not contributing 😉
Keep Shopping.. Keep Contributing!!!
