Charity creates a giver and a receiver. Barter creates two equals. When a Karyakarta installs solar on a neighbour’s roof in exchange for tailoring lessons, the transaction has no winner — only two participants who keep their dignity intact. That is the principle bNg is built on.
We still accept donations from CSR partners and individuals — but those funds buy assets that become BC-redeemable items. The household receiving them earned the redemption with hours of seva. The chain remains: contribution → credit → asset.
