Gimme360 uses wearable technology to answer age-old question: "Where did the money I donated to a charity or social cause go?" Gimme360 created premium wearable technology that brings you closer to your social good impact with transparency and interaction delivered through virtual reality video.
In a nutshell this is what Gimme360 does: partner with charities to bring clean water to those who need it most. Create premium wearable technology, all ethically made in Canada -- no sweat shops or child workers. Gimme360 also takes it a step further and uses the bamboo plant, which is highly water absorbent. It is able to take in up to three times its weight in water -- this ties in nicely with the mandate of Gimme360: clean water for everyone.
The apparel is marked by the coordinates of a water project happening right now, and you can be transported there instantly. All you have to do is tap your smartphone on the coordinates, and watch your impact as it happens. You now get to see where your donation is going and the impact it is making.
