The Social Media Campaign for Veritas e-Trading Network Person-to-Person Fund-raising Global Awareness and Support
The Veritas Mission Janssen & De Kievith Fotografie To become the biggest e-trading company serving the poor in the Philippines with the best prices for high quality goods and the most spectacular customer service, while maintaining the integrity of creation.
The Veritas e-Trading Network is a breakthrough social enterprise that connects poor communities in the Philippines with suppliers of food and basic merchandise. By organizing purchasers into computer-assisted cooperatives, Veritas taps the buying power of poor families. Veritas e-Trading Network The Vicariate of Espiritu Santo Multi-Purpose Cooperative includes eight parishes in the Tondo area, one of the poorest sections of Manila, with the Smokey Mountain Parish of the Risen Christ as lead parish.
We begin at Smokey Mountain Results? Better food at betterprices while creatingjobs from farm to warehouse to table. We begin in Smokey Mountain, Manila, where the cooperative already is making a powerful difference for people who once made a living from scavenging a burning mountain of trash. Janssen & De Kievith Fotografie With success, we will repeatthe model elsewhere in the Philippines and … beyond.
