Kermex platform aims to digitize traditional charity fundraising events in Santa Cruz

In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, a new digital tool called Kermex is emerging to modernize the traditional "kermés" – community fundraising events.

The platform, created by Hugo Acosta, addresses the logistical challenges inherent in organizing these events, from managing ticket sales to promoting the cause effectively. Kermex aims to provide a centralized digital space where individuals and groups can easily register and manage their charitable kermés.

Key features include rapid event creation with details on the cause, date, location, and menu. It also offers simplified management of sales and activities, moving away from complex spreadsheets. Furthermore, Kermex provides a unique link for easy sharing via social media and messaging apps, expanding the event's reach.

Acosta highlighted that for individuals or families facing medical emergencies or other urgent needs, time and transparency are crucial. Kermex offers a user-friendly, trustworthy, and transparent solution that also optimizes resources by reducing costs associated with manual ticket printing and disorganization.

The initiative taps into the strong spirit of solidarity in Santa Cruz, using technology to make fundraising more efficient and impactful, ensuring that aid reaches further.
