 Previously known as 1-1 Card, it's now called B1G1 Card.
When we asked Wilson Ong from Ultimate Communications (one of the B1G1 Business Partners), why he chose to become a social entrepreneur, he said one thing we will not forget.
One of the major things about success in life is to sow seeds to benefit others.
Wilson and Bong started their phone card company in Singapore 6 years ago. While both of them are from the telecommunication industry, Wilson is a Singaporean and Bong is from Indonesia.
When Bong found out about Buy1GIVE1, they immediately became a B1G1 Business Partner and launched their new phone card within 6 weeks. The card used to be called 1-1 card (because it is connecting one person to another). Now it is called the B1G1 (buy one give one) card.
Bong’s a successful entrepreneur. He always believed in giving back. However, he had never really felt right about the ‘charity’ thinking.
When he got to know that ‘Buy1GIVE1Free giving’ was not just about giving something away but it was about creating more for all, it finally made total sense to him. For him, ‘business’ was the real way for the transformation .
Now, every B1G1 card we buy sends one underprivileged Indonesian child to school for a day.
Although he’s implementing Buy1GIVE1Free contribution into a product that has a very low margin, Bong is totally confident about his decision. So much so that he tells literally every business person he knows about his passion for Buy1GIVE1.
I just know B1G1 works for any business. It is a simple idea that has the power to transform the world.”
