This is a good place for people to get in touch with their softer sides. in the busy workaday lives of the 21st century, we often forget that humans are not islands and cannot exist in isolation. we need emotional, physical and financial support from time to time. so do others. this site allows you to help others in any which way.
They have many NGOs to whom you can donate. and they report on how those funds were used, which I really liked. their volunteering channel is a good idea but their implementation on that sucks big-time. and they have a wonderful craft store which offers a lot of products which have been made in traditional Indian styles. I really liked their kurtas and lampshades.
Overall, the site interface really sucks though. especially on their shopping channel, it's painful to figure out whether or not it'll actually load at all.
But the concept behind the site and the fact that you can help somebody while spending only 5 mins more than makes up for that.
