WeSherpa is a Ticino-based startup that has developed a digital platform to transform donations into purchase credits for people in need, redeemable at participating local businesses. The system ensures transparency, supports local commerce, and creates tangible benefits for donors, beneficiaries, and the community.
Created in collaboration with social organizations in Ticino, WeSherpa brings the concept of the traditional "suspended shopping" initiative into the digital age, making solidarity simpler, more transparent, and immediately impactful. Following a successful pilot phase, the startup continues to enhance its platform and expand its network of partners, with the goal of promoting an innovative model of local solidarity.
