Nonprofit marketplace for art and graphics,merchandise made by children & young people from world's struggling communities http://www.artbeez.com/
We are a not-for-profit Social Enterprise start-up that believes in the power of children’s creativity and their spirit for philanthropic enterprise. Children and young people register free to set up their art gallery and shop page. When they want to sell their work, they choose a sale price for their artwork or royalty for the products they design and select a charity or school fundraiser as the
beneficiary of the funds. With a premium membership, they can choose to earn a percentage of the sales proceeds. Artbeez does not take any percentage of the sales proceeds other than the cost of production and shipping when good are sold. Artbeez is also a platform for the children whom our charity partners support. By partnering with organisations that work with disadvantaged communities internationally and providing art materials, we enable the children to explore and enjoy art. The resulting artwork is then sold on the website, with the proceeds going to the young artists; allowing them to self-sufficiently earn income. By buying artwork or products through the site, adults encourage young artists to play a responsible role in society and experience a sense of accomplishment and empowerment through the joy of giving and earning on their own merit. In addition, with artworks that they buy adults can design and order merchandise such as cards, posters and t-shirts on their own
