KC Relics Online Expansion

At KC Relics, our mission has always been rooted in innovation that serves people. Today, we are proud to officially announce the launch of the KC Relics Online Expansion Project — a transformative initiative designed to equip nonprofits, educators, and grassroots community organizations with world-class digital platforms that generate income, create jobs, and empower local economies.

This project is more than a product offering — it’s a social impact strategy. One that reflects our commitment to helping underserved communities tap into the digital economy and reshape their futures from the ground up.

We believe that with the right tools, any organization — no matter how small — can scale its impact. And if we succeed, we won’t just grow businesses or build systems. We’ll help feed one less empty table per day.

Why We Launched the Online Expansion Project

The idea behind this initiative came from a simple observation: many nonprofits are doing incredible work but lack access to the digital infrastructure needed to sustain, scale, or monetize their efforts.

In South Africa and across the continent, thousands of organizations rely on donations and manual systems, making them vulnerable to funding gaps and operational inefficiencies. Meanwhile, digital platforms are redefining how the world works — from education and commerce to service delivery and social advocacy.

We asked ourselves:

• How can we make sure no nonprofit is left behind in the digital age?
• What tools could unlock real financial independence for organizations serving their communities?
• Could we design systems that build ecosystems — not just websites?

The Online Expansion Project is our answer.

What Is the Online Expansion Project?

The KC Relics Online Expansion Project is a turnkey program that provides nonprofits and community-based organizations with custom digital platforms, built to help them generate income and run impactful initiatives — all within a scalable, professionally supported environment.

Each system is designed with a clear community benefit and monetization model in mind. Organizations can host educational institutions, digital marketplaces, booking portals, and more — all connected to a wider network of local users, supporters, and affiliates.

This isn’t about just being online. It’s about creating new streams of opportunity that work for everyone involved.

Our Digital Solutions: A Look Inside the Ecosystem

The project includes access to purpose-built platforms designed to serve both internal operations and public-facing services. Each one is fully branded for the organization, mobile-friendly, and comes with integrated earning models.

1. VBackpack: Digital Schools for Community Education

VBackpack is an all-in-one virtual education platform that allows nonprofits to:

• Launch their own digital school or learning hub
• Enroll local institutions or individual students
• Collect recurring monthly fees

What makes it unique? Students can also become affiliates, promoting recorded courses to others and earning a commission per sale — a built-in entrepreneurship pipeline that creates financial value for both the NPO and its learners.

2. TradeNest: Community Marketplaces for Local Commerce

TradeNest enables NPOs to host their own eCommerce marketplace, where:

• Local businesses and service providers can register
• Products, bookings, or services can be listed and sold
• The organization earns from vendor subscriptions and transaction commissions

This platform creates a localized economy, empowering small businesses while generating sustainable income for the host nonprofit.

3. Affiliate Ecosystem: Built-In Growth Engine

Every KC Relics system includes an integrated affiliate model. Community members, students, and supporters can sign up as promoters of:

• Online courses
• Marketplace products
• Events and services

Affiliates earn a percentage of every sale they generate — and the host organization benefits from organic outreach and increased revenue.

It’s more than marketing. It’s a distributed opportunity system that turns users into partners and advocates.

• Leaders with a community network, mission-driven mindset, and desire to grow sustainably

You don’t need to be tech-savvy. You just need the vision to lead and the willingness to build.

The Business Model: A Sustainable, Self-Funding Approach

One of the core strengths of the KC Relics Online Expansion Project lies in its accessible and sustainable business model — designed specifically to ensure that nonprofits can participate without relying on external donations or using their own operational budgets.

Rather than paying upfront for their system, participating organizations raise the required amount by reselling select KC Relics systems to relevant individuals or businesses in their network.

This approach not only eliminates the financial barrier to entry, but also empowers nonprofits to generate income from the very first step.

How It Works

Each nonprofit participating in the Online Expansion Project receives access to a structured fundraising model, enabling them to unlock their own platform by reselling selected KC Relics systems to individuals or businesses that can benefit from them.

This isn’t a fixed-commission model — it’s a flexible, value-based reselling opportunity, where the nonprofit sets the final price and retains the difference after KC Relics’ standard system activation fee.

• R500 deposit – A minimum R500 deposit is required to activate each new client system. This portion is retained by KC Relics to provision, brand, and deploy the platform.
• System payment – The nonprofit determines the final resale price based on the system type and target market. Anything earned above the R500 deposit is kept by the nonprofit as part of their fundraising initiative.
  Example:
  If a nonprofit resells a school management system for R2,000, they retain R1,500 and forward only R500 to KC Relics for activation.
• Low monthly fee – The client (not the nonprofit) pays a monthly fee directly to KC Relics to keep their platform active. Monthly rates start from R250, depending on the system type.

The model ensures that the organization itself earns the lion’s share, while KC Relics focuses on long-term technical support and updates.

A Revenue Model That Respects Community Dynamics

This approach gives nonprofits the freedom to:

• Set their own margins based on system value and buyer capacity
• Target different audiences — schools, clinics, small businesses, etc.
• Raise funds ethically and sustainably, without relying on donors or grants

Whether selling one platform or five, nonprofits can generate enough revenue to unlock their own digital system, while delivering meaningful tools to others in their network.

It’s a model rooted in empowerment, flexibility, and fairness — because real impact begins when nonprofits are given the freedom to fund their futures on their own terms.

Our Vision: Feed One Less Table Per Day

We know that technology alone doesn’t change the world — people do. But the right technology in the hands of the right people can change lives.

The Online Expansion Project was built around the idea of “feeding one less table per day.” That means:

• One less family going hungry because someone found employment as an affiliate
• One less school underfunded because it’s now collecting monthly revenue through digital tuition
• One less small business struggling because it gained customers through a local NPO’s marketplace
• One less NPO limited by funding gaps because it now earns sustainably through its own digital system

The dream is simple. If we can create one win per day, for one organization, one family, one student — the ripple effect is limitless.

We’re not just offering software. We’re offering a new model for community empowerment.
