YEREVAN - ONEArmenia, a non-profit crowdfunding platform, which has
been functioning for less than a year, has successfully funded their
third crowdfunding project, closing a $6,305 round of funding to
bring clean water to the village of Karotan in the Kashatagh region
in Nagorno Karabakh.
The project, in partnership with 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 but surpassed
that goal by $773 in just 3 short weeks.
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. From the cost of building materials to
labor, you can find all the details of the budget on their Indiegogo
page. With ONEArmenia's commitment to transparency and accountability,
they will keep everyone in the loop with progress reports from start
to finish.
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, make sure to visit
their Facebook page.
Non-profit funding platform ONEArmenia was founded in September 2012
to stand with the 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.
