Over the last year and a half New Zealand's 28,000 registered charities have had to re-think the way they raise money - particularly those that operate physical retail shops from donations.

It's called Chooza and it connects charities with businesses and individuals who sell new or used items - but instead of the seller pocketing the money, the funds go directly to charity. Jesse speaks to founder, Stephen Moon.
