November 07, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
A new search engine was launched last week with the aim of providing web users with an easy, zero cost method of helping those less fortunate themselves. Jikolp.com, which is powered by the Google search engine, has pledged to donate an amazing 50% of all revenue to charitable causes. In November, its first full month of operation, jikolp.com is aiming to raise $US10,000 for UNICEF.Jikolp.com was formed by a group of long term friends with a strong belief that charity and business can go hand in hand. They also recognized that many web users would jump at the opportunity to be able to contribute to charity just by using jikolp.com as their search engine. The fantastic thing about jikolp.com is that visitors will receive the same search results they would have received at Google.com but with the added benefit of that feel good feeling that comes with helping a good cause.
The founders of jikolp.com said they had already received very strong support and that the use of jikolp.com was already growing strongly. The founders believe that their aim of raising $US10,000 for UNICEF in November is the start of bigger targets to come.
About jikolp:
In 2006 jikolp was formed by a group of long term friends with two primary goals:
1. To provide everyday people with an easy, zero cost method to support charity organizations.
2. To provide charity organizations with a new source of income to carry on and extend their good work.
The jikolp team believed that these two goals could be achieved by providing an existing service that millions of people use daily and redirecting a large portion of the revenue generated by this service to charity organizations. The team eventually settled on providing a web search engine service like Google.com or yahoo.com and donating a massive 50% of all revenue (not profit, but revenue!) generated to charity organizations.
