With the funding support of EWDE, Germany and with the funding support of Fair Climate Network, we are implementing the Microscale CDM Biogas Program in Namakkal District.
Through this project, we aim to reduce the fuel wood and keroine usage and assist 1600 families in Namakkal District, Tamilnadu, India by constructing 1600 biogas units.
Captured the following is their Happy Smiles from our end users who have started using the biogas units.
Mobilising
funds for the social developmental works for the grass root level activities is
found bit difficult now-a-days and the advent of technologies for this resource
mobilisation is a boon for the Non Governmental Organisations.
One
such opportunity is the Crowd Funding Sites. Unlike the traditional funding
systems, the crowd funding sites offers our project to get into live for a
specific period of time that we set and the desired target amount for the
developmental cause. The interested donors can donate to our project. At the
end of the period, the crowd funding site would get transferred the collected
amount to our account directly. This is a new opportunity of fund raising for
NGOs.
We have
also recently uploaded our projects with the popular crowd funding platforms-ammadoand1% Club, Netherlands.
Though our targets are not fully met, we have raised funds from our first
experience in this kind.
We at
WORD really thank the crowdfunding platforms and the donors who supported to
our cause.
