Apologies for accidentally taking out your comment. You asked why we hadn't given the money to charity. I've been trying to put a response in but having problems with YouTube and Mozilla Firefox for adding comments.

It is a good question and one I trust I answered well below. The reaction we have had from development agencies is that this is a great new approach and I believe it is a breakthrough if only in small part for the timebeing.

Best wishes,

Peter McAteer

its a shame you censored my comment. you can't understand posting propaganda like this on a public forum invites criticism. a business that enables other people and does not turn a profit is the definition of a charity. keep up the good work.

We are building a symbiotic relationship between business and Charity where the business supports the charity and 97% of our sellers choose to do so.

So no it would not have been wiser to donate to Charity. The DreamAid Charity is all about enablement. Helping people to stand on their own two feet and be independent of charity.

The business must succeed to help as much as possible and to demonstrate that business and charity can coexist to mutual benefit. We founded the DreamAid Charity too
