Fundraise for a Cause with Milaap : the Best Crowdfunding

7th December 2017

Dear donors,

We sincerely thank you very much for contributing to the grand success of the 13th International Permaculture Convergence that just happened in Telangana. Our crowdfunding campaign aimed at inviting as many farmers as possible to represent the beautiful diversity of our country, its farmers and their practices. Thanks to the 7,6 lakhs rupees raised (= about 11,700 US$) we were able to invite 80 farmers to be part of this unique experience.

The event has definitely been a huge learning experience for everyone and we hope that it empowered farmers to be part of the change to move together "Towards healthy societies".

Again, we deeply thank you!
With warm regards,

The whole IPC India 2017 team together with Padma & Narsanna Koppula

Thanks to the 4,1 lakhs rupees raised (= about 6,400 US$) we will be able to invite 20 farmers.

The event will be definitely a huge learning experience for everyone and we hope you will be able to join us for this epic gathering of permaculturists and sustainable livings believers and workers from all across the globe.

Here is a little glimpse of what’s in store for you when you come for the IPC India 2017. Join us, share with your friends, grow our community and be part of the change!

IPC India farmers fund – 1 month and a half in and we've reached almost 20% - Thank you!

Dear Crowdfunders,

We're mid-way into our crowdfunding campaign and thanks to you we've now reached almost 20% of our goal of 10,00,000 Rs. Thank you so much for your generous support!

Scholars have different financial needs, but so far it looks like we can already support 9 farmers to attend the International Convergence in September - that means 9 more states with 9 more valuable perspectives on permaculture’s future in India will be here.

We are so excited about meeting amazing farmers from all across the country because they can make such a huge difference in their communities where they live and help us revitalize the best practices our people developed during thousands years of agricultural history.

Please share the template messages below with your friends, family and colleagues. We will only be successful if we can reach as far and wide as possible so any help in spreading the word is hugely appreciated.

Thank you so much,

Padma & Narsanna Koppula

Dear friends,

I've recently donated to a project from Aranya Agricultural Alternatives which I'd like to share with you.

One of Aranya Agricultural Alternatives’ key projects this year is hosting the 13th International Permaculture Convergence in November www.ipcindia2017.org. The event will gather practitioners of permaculture from around the globe, people who are working with nature to design a better world and move towards healthy societies. They wish to have farmers representing each state of the country. The IPC India 2017 will be a unique opportunity for them to share their own experience and challenges in their respective regions and learn new best practices that they can bring back home.

However, here’s the sticky bit. Some of the most experienced and influential sustainable living practitioners in the country cannot afford to come.

Thus, their goal is to create a scholarship fund, that will make it possible for farmers and speakers from different states of India to attend the IPC India 2017 this November in Hyderabad and make her or his voice matter!

Aranya Agricultural Alternatives needs to raise 8 lakhs in 40 days to create a Scholarships Fund that will enable as many farmers to join the International Permaculture Convergence as possible.

The campaign is live at https://milaap.org/fundraisers/IPCIndia2017farmersfund

They will only be successful if we can reach the target so any help in spreading the word is hugely appreciated and please consider donating yourself if you can.
