CROWDFUNDING - CAN YOU HELP?

Our friends at Cafédirect Producers’ Foundation are crowdfunding for Small Folders: Urban Gardening Project. The goal is to raise $25,000 to help launch an initiative that showcases smallholder knowledge and innovations.

The project will generate a sustainable income source for their programmes and, by sharing smallholder expertise with western audiences, flip the standard transfer of knowledge from the North to South on its head.

SmallFolders will help CPF to develop, modify and adapt their urban gardening products further, creating more robust products for your home, and to continue supporting their network of 280k smallholders improve livelihoods through their programmes.

You can help by making even the smallest donation, and also get some really amazing urban gardening products as rewards. Click here to see the full campaign. Samples of rewards are listed below.
