NB Sadly we are shortly closing down the Ecomonkey Shopping Channel. Alas too few thought this was as good an idea as we did at the outset. In no particular order: Spammers, lack of consumer goodwill, lack of +ve press, greedy/incompetent consultants and advisers (they ate the marketing budget), lack of a patient sponsor, no big fat marketing budget have all conspired to make the project fall ell short of expectations.

The upside is that we built a robust system with small capital invested which withstood the challenges technically, which is no small achievement. All suppliers have been and continue to be paid (except the ones that failed or could not deliver.)

IMPORTANTLY Kiva and several hundred small businesses in the developing world have benefited to the tune of around $3000 invested or reinvested. This is a revolving fund and continues to get topped up, and gets reinvested at the rate of $100 every few months. That alone makes us happy.
