Give.sg, Singapore’s Kiva
Stumbled upon Give.sg today, and got really excited. Founded by a group of NUS students and based in a NUS Business incubator, their work “supports charity and fundraising efforts across Singapore”. My guess is that it is a Kiva approach to charity in Singapore, where charities put up requests for donations online, and Give.sg provides a one-stop donation portal where people can donate online.
The Give.sg Website
I’ve seen quite a few Kiva-clones already- good ideas spread, and in the future it is very likely every country or cause will have its own donation portal. Yet I cannot hide my excitement that this has managed to develop autonomously in Singapore. Will keep close tab on this (it launches in 53 days) and can’t say how much I’m excited for this. I’m starting to repeat myself. But wow! Imagine the possibilities!
PS: Does anyone know any of the guys on the Give.sg team?
The founders are Aseem and Yuming.

Thanks, Zwee- I’ve met Aseem a couple of times in Singapore and it’s amazing how far they’ve come
