Health Matters. BackaBuddy featuring Catherine Du Plooy.

Crowdfunding might seem like a modern concept - as it’s primarily done through the internet and social media - but it actually dates all the way back to the 1700s! 
These days, it’s one of the most common ways that people can receive help for unaffordable medical emergencies. 
In this episode of Health Matters we meet Catherine Du Plooy an entrepreneur, social enterprise enthusiast and crowdfunding expert, who is currently working as Director and COO of South Africa’s most successful crowdfunding platform, BackaBuddy - which is a donation-based crowdfunding platform that allows people to raise funds for causes they are passionate about.
