Every Shop has a Cause

So here's how it works, every shop has to adopt a Cause as a prerequisite. The Cause can be anything from social causes (eg: raising money for the orphanage) to environmental causes (eg: save the tiger). The more relevant your Cause is to your products, the more likely it will encourage buyers.

For example:

Elevyn's pilot project, Soning Craft, sells indigenous crafts. Soning Craft's Cause is the SINOMPURU Women's Group - which is a group of women made up of single mothers and underprivalaged women. Their project is to raise money to school their children.
