Buy Local. Sell Smart. Empower George.
Fund the Future of
Local Commerce
Two cities. One mission. Help us launch South Africa's most purpose-driven local marketplace — where 80% of profits transform communities.
George Local Marketplace
Launch Campaign
Help us bring George's local businesses online — for free. 90-day pilot, community-powered, and 80% of every profit rand going straight back into social impact in the Garden Route.
Why George Needs This
George is a vibrant town with incredible local talent — artisans, restaurants, service providers, and traders — but too many of them are invisible online. While big platforms dominate digital commerce, our local gems get overlooked.
George Local Marketplace is changing that. We're building a dedicated online hub exclusively for George businesses, so local shoppers can find, support, and transact with businesses right in their neighbourhood — not on a platform based in another country.
This campaign funds the George launch:
- ✅ Door-to-door business onboarding with a personal touch
- ✅ Professionally printed marketing materials across George
- ✅ Targeted Facebook & Instagram ads in the Garden Route region
- ✅ A public launch event in George
- ✅ 90-day free listing for every local business
- ✅ 80% of all future profits to local social impact projects
