Fundraising and how to that best?
Hi I am involved in a orphanage in India, this one is in the slums right now. I hope you don't mind if I keep this story short.
There are about 70+ kids in a place where by government law only 14 should sleep. But who can refuse these street kids if they want to be helped? We can't and we won't. For security purpose I won't tell for now where we are located and I am not from India but the Netherlands. I have all the contacts with the organization in India to do this job. If you have seen the movie slum dog millionaire you know what type of kids we take care of there. We provide food, schooling and shelter, but like I said the place they live now is in a concrete building in the slums. It looks terrible, the walls are rotten and the slums is just a bad place. When I go there I need escort of my contacts or it is to dangerous to go in these area. Because I am a "rich" white dude. Well if I was rich I would not ask for advice and just buy them the new property. But I am not rich I don't even have the money to go there right now because everything is invested in my business that I am building.
What I want to do is raise about € 80.000 to build a new house for at least 100 kids. We already have a plot of land so this would be for the 3 to 5 layer building. If I can raise more we could go for 5 layers and hold a lot more kids there. But for now I aim at € 80.000 to build the 3 layers building.
Okay what I want to know is how would you do this fund raising thing and are there people who are willing to help me do it? The organisation I work with is Christian so if you don't like that and don't want to help, that is completly okay with me
. If you want to help( I dont mean financial help here, but how to raise the funds), you don't get any extra info (about where the location is for now) because that is to dangerous. You of course get info about how stuff develops over time . The government is sometimes not very friendly to Christians in this nation (this depends on where the area is). I care about those kids getting a proper place to live their lives.
