It is always good to see brands doing something good during the festive season. Instead of the normal crowdfund campaign, Maxis has partnered up with top ecommerce sites including Lazada, Zalora, Gem Five, Rakuten and HappyFresh to crowdfund new houses for Malaysian families in need through e-Commerce shopping and e-Giving. Since this is for a great cause, you now have more reason to shop and donate RM8 angpow to help the needy at the same time.

To Kongsi-a-Home, online shoppers just add RM8 worth of building materials to your shopping cart, and this will be donated to community home-building projects by EPIC Homes. If 5% of Malaysian online shoppers donate just RM8, the Kongsi Home project will be able to crowdfund 50 new home-building projects by EPIC Homes. That's how powerful the internet users in Malaysia can do as a team.

If you want to shop from ZALORA, here's a special ZALORA discount code (ZBAPX8H) for 15% discount on your total purchase. This give you a better reason to include at least one RM8 donation pack to your shopping cart right? Or, you can use Shopback to get up to 30% cash back from Zalora, Lazada, and many more merchants for yourself and trust me, not only you are saving money, you are saving time from getting stuck in the traffic just because you want to go and buy some grocery or new outfit for this Chinese New Year.

I went to Tesco to shop for CNY goods last weekend and it was really crowded especially when you need to pay your stuff at the crowded counter. Therefore online shopping is definitely a good way to safe you from trouble yo.

 “This is a great step towards creating awareness amongst the urban communities, about the needs, the culture and lifestyles of those in the rural areas. When we’re able to achieve building homes for every single family in our country, you’ll know that your little action was part of something big. And I believe that would also change your life,” said John-son Oei, CEO/Founder, EPIC Homes.

You sure may ask, does these brands get some sort of commissions apart from the total donation amount? Don't be worry as ALL proceeds will go to building a home for the needy, so let’s work together to build hope one home at a time.

Sulin Lau, Maxis’ Head of Marketing Services, talking about the Kongsi Home Project, at the press conference earlier today at Menara Maxis
“Some people think homelessness is one of those problems too big for any one of us to solve. However we at Maxis believe the Internet makes it easier for us to join forces and start making a difference. Imagine: if just 5% of Malaysia’s 7 million online shoppers donated RM8 via the Kongsi Home Project, we’d be able to crowdfund enough building materials to build new homes for 50 families. If Chinese New Year is about family, then the Kongsi Home project is a good reminder to always think about other less fortunate Malaysians as our family too,” said Sulin Lau, Maxis Head of Marketing Services.

I've figured out a way for you to save some money while doing charity. For Zalora, sometimes you want to buy a dress worth RM67 and need to purchase additional stuff to entitle for free delivery (RM75 to entitle for FREE delivery). All you need to do is include a RM8 donation package to your shopping cart to enjoy FREE delivery. It just feels like instead of you paying for the delivery, you did a charity and collect good karma.

If you want to donate without spending your own money, you should register Shopback for awesome cashback so it somehow converted the money for good will without you spending much money.
