| Elevyn’s Marginalized Communities |

Elevyn seeks to empower marginalized communities by enabling them to sell their crafts via online stores. Additionally, it’s also a platform for charities and NGO’s to raise funds and awareness on their campaigns.
How does it work?
Everytime an item is sold, 5% get channeled automatically to a Cause that the Shop supports. This ensures that the business benefits not only the seller, but to the local community as a whole. Elevyn itself takes 5% for operational funds, with the rest going back to the seller.
Who are we?
My name is Mike Tee, and together with Devan Singaram, we received a grant from the MDEC Pre-seed Fund Programme to develop the project. The project is also a finalist in the recent Youth Social Entrepreneurship Initiative (YSEI 2008)
You are invited!

Got a message from Mike just now
First of all, a great big THANK YOU for signing up as a beta user to Elevyn.com! Quite unfortunately, we were unable to make the beta launch as promised on Monday 18 August due to some logistical issues with our pilot online shop in Sabah.
Our Field Coordinator Puah Sze Ning actually left for Sabah a week ago to aliase with the local community to clear up some outstanding product issues prior to the launch.
However, one thing we learnt about working with rural communities is that schedules are often unpredictable, and very likely, subject to last minute changes.
Thus, despite our best laid plans, several crucial issues with the online shop just couldn’t be fixed in time. We’ve therefore decided to delay the launch for a little bit more.
The good news is, we’ve just seen some -amazing- updates on the handicrafts and photos that Sze Ning has posted into the online shop from Sabah. There will be more in the days to come, and we look forward to updating you on our next launch date. Stay tuned!

Thanks Adrian; we spoke to some of their volunteers during the Arts for Grabs event at Central Market. They do very interesting work indeed! We’d love to have them on our site.
Pin: There are still a number of things that we need to work on based on the feedback that we’ve received, but hopefully if all goes well we’re looking at November. Will keep you updated! :-)
