035 Shop and Affiliate Products
Retail as a fundraiser and business development driver. Purchase through established marketplaces and the retail margins fund our projects, such as the free career tools for South African youth via Abridged Knowledge 035. No markup on your end.
Store Under Construction
The full catalogue is being assembled. In the meantime, use the marketplace links below. Every purchase through these links directs affiliate commissions and retail margins to Abridged Knowledge 035 at no additional cost to you.
How It Works
- Click a marketplace link below (Amazon, Takealot, or Makro).
- Shop as you normally would. Prices are identical to visiting the sites directly.
- The marketplace pays a small commission or affiliate fee to UH035 from their margin.
- That commission funds hosting, content production, and platform maintenance for ak035.co.za, keeping career tools free for unemployed youth.
Your commercial engagement with UH035 does not subsidise ak035. If you value ESG or CSI alignment, purchasing through these redirects helps keep career tools free.

Where the Money Goes
Money goes towards developing our projects and subsidising costs. For example, AK035 runs at R3,495 per month. Retail margins and affiliate commissions will contribute alongside AdSense revenue. Instead of asking for handouts, your shopping helps cover:
- Shared hosting (R45/month)
- Domain and email infrastructure (R150/p.a)
- Content production and labour (R3,300/month)
Every contribution reduces the funding gap and keeps the platform operational for 10,000+ users without any corporate medling.
