On 19 July, Forgood officially launched their website after an initial 18 month pilot phase led by founder Dr. Garth Japhet. Forgood was developed by coordinated efforts of Heartlines, a media and social mobilization NGO, and Young and Able, a black-owned training and development consultancy.
The basis of Forgood is to connect NGOs and other initiatives in need of services and resources with a database of volunteers. Essentially, it’s a social network for a purpose. Companies, people, and NGOs can create a profile for free and post what they have to offer in terms of time, skills or items of what they need or want. This forum is called a “marketplace of good.”
