E-Commerce Adoption for NGOs and Social Enterprises: A Framework for Sustainable Digital Growth

Abstract The rapid expansion of e-commerce has widened global market access, yet marginalized producers—including rural artisans, differently-abled entrepreneurs, and senior citizens—continue to face exclusion due to limited digital literacy, high platform fees, and insufficient logistical support. While NGOs and social enterprises attempt to address these gaps, the absence of a unified, scalable digital infrastructure often restricts their long-term impact. This research proposes an inclusive, socially driven e-commerce platform that offers affordable digital storefronts, secure payment systems, and integrated logistics, while uniquely incorporating narrative-based "storytelling" to emphasize the social value behind each product and promote ethical consumerism. Developed using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js), the platform ensures accessibility, scalability, and ease of use. Comparative analysis shows that the proposed solution meaningfully reduces entry barriers and enhances the economic resilience of vulnerable communities, contributing directly to Sustainable Development Goals 8 (decent work and economic growth) and 10 (reduced inequalities).
