Project Overview
Bandar and Bhaaloo has an active website which is hosted by GoDaddy that we need to migrate to the more nimble Shopify.
In addition to visualizing our nonprofit's mission, the purpose of the website is to sell our products. This is the principal way we raise funds. I would like to migrate the website from GoDaddy to Shopify because Shopify is a more nimble platform and links to Facebook and Instagram, enabling us to reach a much larger audience. I need assistance to do this, as we do not have the technical knowledge to make the change. This project is a priority for us, especially as we enter the gift-giving/holiday season. We raise funds mostly by selling our handmade products on our website, rather than asking for donations. We have no physical shop. Our social media posts cannot be connected to our website without switching our platform to Shopify or recreating our catalog on the Meta platform - a laborious process. It would make all the difference for us and the the girls in India whose high school education we fund.This is a priority issue for us for the balance of 2024. As the founder of Bandar and Bhaaloo, it would be my responsibility to oversee and implement this change. Once the project is complete, we would be able to increase our social media posts and link them directly to our shop.
Nonprofit Overview
Bandar and Bhaaloo is a non-profit whose mission is to provide funding for the secondary education of girls in India. Its business model is to generate funds through the sale of one-of-a-kind stuffed animals made of donated Indian saris and sewn by volunteers. Sold through low-cost channels and minimizing administrative costs, the funds we generate through the sale of our adorable animals are directed to proven educational partners in India. Secondary education plays an important role in arming girls and women with the necessary knowledge, attitudes, and skills to make qualitative improvements to their lives.
