<div>Hello,
</div>
<div>We are <strong>Planet Caretakers</strong> (NGO from Portugal) and <strong>We Clean We Green</strong> is an NGO from Malawi, with who we are honored to walk side by side as <strong>partners, helping nature and communities</strong>. So once again we hold hands in this final push to fund the Waste Management Facility they dream with.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the heart of Lilongwe, Malawi, youth are ready to clean rivers, streets, and hearts. The land is secured. The walls are rising. But only 10% stands between them and a permanent waste-to-hope waste management facility.
</div>
<div>We launched <a href="https://www.instagram.com/planetcaretakers_mwi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Planet Caretakers Malawi</a> with youth-led partner <a href="https://www.instagram.com/we_clean_we_green_malawi_" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">We Clean We Green</a>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>LOCAL HANDS, GLOBAL HEARTBEAT</strong>
</div>
<div>In Lilongwe, youth clubs, schools, and entire neighbourhood are ready - to clean, protect, and care. But before action, we need foundation. This small Waste Management Facility will turn waste into worth, chaos into system.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>Because when youth rise, communities rise — and the planet breathes easier.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP </strong>
</div>
<div>The build was fully funded by UMI FUND in 2024 — a huge step forward. But Malawi’s currency drastically devalued, inflating the cost of basic materials and creating a modest shortfall.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your €1.300,79/$1,600 USD will help build the Waste Management Facility. <strong>How?</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Cement – €822,44/$954
</li>
<li>Timber – €732,78/$850 ️
</li>
<li>Local Labor – €228/$265
</li>
<li>Transport – €146/$170
</li>
<li>(Stretch goal: PPE, signage &amp; safety gear for 30 days — €2.155/$2,500)
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>WHY THIS MATTERS</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Waste Without a Waste Management Facility Is Displacement - A cleanup without a destination just moves pollution around. The <strong>Material Recovery Facility (MRF)</strong> brings responsibility first.
</li>
<li>Empowers Youth Action - Volunteers, schools, and civic clubs are ready. This gives them a real system to plug into.
</li>
<li>Data-Driven Change - With sorting and weighing on-site, we’ll track and report how much plastic, metal, compost, or residuals move each month.
</li>
<li>Trustworthy &amp; Transparent - We post receipts, photos, maps, and quarterly “Responsibility Reports” to show exactly how your contribution made impact.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>THE IMPACT IN NUMBERS</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>25 youth leaders trained
</li>
<li>5,000kg waste to be sorted monthly
</li>
<li>3 community schools involved
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>HOW YOU CAN HELP</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Donate - Every dollar builds the future hub.
</li>
<li>Corporate Match - Fund a section or sponsor materials.
</li>
<li>In-Kind - Supplies like PPE kits, signage, and safety tools welcome.
</li>
<li>Share - Post this campaign with your network to spread the word.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>There will be no contest, prize, or promotion offered in exchange for donations made to the GoFundMe.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>HOW YOUR DONATION WILL BE HANDLED</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Direct, accountable, and fully transparent</strong>
</div>
<div>As the CEO and Founder of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/planetcaretakers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Planet Caretakers</a>, I Débora Sá will personally oversee the secure collection and transfer of all campaign donations.
</div>
<div>Because GoFundMe does not yet support direct withdrawals in Malawi, funds will be received through my verified personal account in Portugal. Once the goal is met, I will transfer 100% of the funds (minus GoFundMe fees) to our local NGO partner in Malawi via a trusted international service such as <a href="https://wise.com/?utm_source=google&amp;matchtype=e&amp;device=c&amp;userlocation=9218250&amp;keyword=wise&amp;campaignid=20934525259&amp;adgroupid=161278432247&amp;utm_campaign=20934525259___161278432247&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=20934525259&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADqE2bD0w15rUk8YWJY9a8fnk686y&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwgpzIBhCOARIsABZm7vGepZSAA0LsVdLJqvt-4NZTpOjqXXk6gLZX_sr9k2-t3ofXVKCYUdgaAt7UEALw_wcB" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wise</a> or <a href="https://ttps//www.westernunion.com/pt/pt/home.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Western Union</a> .
</div>
<div><strong>We prioritize transparency - donors will receive:</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Itemized receipts
</li>
<li>Photo and video proof of purchases and progress
</li>
<li>Updates showing exactly how each dollar helped complete the Waste Management Facility
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>TRANSPARENCY &amp; ACCOUNTABILITY</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>You’ll always know where your donation went:</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Open budget and receipts
</li>
<li>Weekly photo/video updates
</li>
<li>Monthly “Responsibility Reports” (volunteer stats, waste metrics, destinations)
</li>
<li>Quarterly Impact PDFs
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>FAQs</strong>
</div>
<div><strong><em>Do you have city permission for the site?</em></strong>
</div>
<div>Yes. Site is confirmed with Lilongwe City Council. Documentation is available privately to major donors.
</div>
<div><strong><em>Why not start cleanups now?</em></strong>
</div>
<div>Because waste without a final destination is displacement. The Waste Management Facility ensures every cleanup has measurable impact.
</div>
<div><strong><em>Can I support in other ways?</em></strong>
</div>
<div>Absolutely! We welcome:
</div>
<ul>
<li>In-kind donations (PPE, tools, signage, scales)
</li>
<li>NGO, foundation, or CSR partnerships
</li>
<li>Shares across social networks or in local media
</li>
</ul>
