We have already raised in the UK and Netherlands € 7.437 (GBP 6.477) through successful fundraising efforts, which demonstrates strong support and momentum for this social project. Thanks to contributions from our growing community and early backers, we have raised this substantial amount, providing a solid belief in this cause for children with special needs in Bhutan.
We're not there yet. We need your support to make it happen. Feel free to support us, three women on a mission to create change for marginalized children.
