Recipro is a mobile app that consolidates requests for aid in one’s community and empowers community members to likewise submit requests. This enables neighbours to practice and receive random acts of kindness, fostering a sense of belonging and connectivity in the community. Using the evidence-based principle of reciprocity, which describes the human tendency to respond to good acts with comparable generosity, Recipro connects people living within a 15km radius. From picking up groceries for a family nearby to walking the dog of a local teacher, communities become more tight-knit and resilient with Recipro.
Simply place requests for errand services within the neighbourhood to connect with those willing to help! Receiving an act of kindness deducts Recipoints, and giving an act of kindness earns Recipoints. Once there is reciprocation, the pair can become friend and have more long-term, high-commitment tasks.
