"Today we drink to you!"
YEREVAN-ONEArmenia, a non-profit crowd-funding platform, which has
been functioning for less than a year, has successfully funded their
third crowd-funding project, closing a $6,305 round of funding to bring
clean water to the war torn region of Kashatagh in Nagorno-Karabakh.
The project, in partnership with the Tufenkian Foundation, was
originally launched in January of this year and was able to raise 65%
of its $22,193 funding goal. After receiving a $3,000 donation in
the interim, ONEArmenia was ready to round out the remaining $5,532
and surpassed that goal by $773 in 3 weeks.
The nonprofit organization states, "Every penny raised will go towards
the creation of a drinking and irrigation water supply of a well to
provide fresh water to Karotan and its surrounding villages. With
ONEArmenia's commitment to transparency and accountability, we will
keep everyone in the loop with progress reports from start to finish.
>From the cost of building materials to labor, you can find all the
details of the budget on our Indiegogo page."
The campaign also gained support from the Armenian Youth Federation
of Canada, who organized a fundraiser at their most recent event.
"Access to clean water is fundamental in so many ways," said Ani
Elgudzhyan, member of the AYF Vancouver Chapter. "We are happy to bring
together the Armenian community of Vancouver for this important cause."
ONEArmenia is currently in talks with the Tufenkian Foundation on how
to use the extra money in a sustainable way. In the meantime, they are
getting ready to launch their fourth campaign with Sahman Development
Project to build greenhouses in the village of Berkaber. To keep up
to date with ONEArmenia, you can visit their Facebook page.
Non-profit funding platform ONEArmenia was founded in September 2012
to stand with change-making individuals and the organizations they
represent, using social media and crowd-funding to involve anyone with
an Internet connection in boosting projects that are geared toward
making tangible changes in Armenia now. The ONEArmenia network makes
it possible to not only raise money for a project based in Armenia as
a worldwide community, but to also track the progress of said project
with complete access to financial information.
