THE BACKSTORY
Letshanaa A Karupathevan is a 19-year-old independent shuttler from Malaysia. She has been playing for Malaysia since the age of 8 years old. She is currently rated in the top 270 Women Single Rating (Karupathevan LETSHANAA | Profile (bwfbadminton.com)). Now, we are self-funding for various international championships, for which we seek your support.
Whilst competing in BWF tournaments, unfortunately, she sustained a back injury in 2021. Since 2022, she has been independently funded and coached by her family. Her family supported by her father A Karupathevan and myself, come from a very modest background and have exhausted all our options to self-fund in her quest to represent Malaysia. To provide a bit of favour, it costs around USD 3000-4000/RM 14000-18000 for each tournament, which we have been supporting with the help of our savings, and support from friends and families. On top of this cost per tournament, there is an ongoing cost of training and supplements, which works around USD 2000/ RM 10000. As you would imagine for any young athlete, time is the key and she need to represent more tournaments (line up given below) in the next 12-18 month period, which is costing around USD 65000 / RM 300,000. ALL MONEY RAISED ON THIS PAGE WILL GO 100% TOWARDS SUPPORTING LETSHANAA.
K Letshanaa is inspired to win the international championship and fulfil her dream of competing in the Olympics and winning a medal for Malaysia. These tournaments will help her raise the world ranking to compete in Super Series Tournaments, World Championship and Olympics. She needs your support in this quest and any little help/referral is massively appreciated.
In the interest of transparency, we will provide complete visibility on the money raised and money spent through this fundraiser.
The current line of tournaments in 2022

For 2023, I will update you once I confirm which tournaments, K Letshanaa will participate in. At least estimated around 10 tournaments to be played
K Letshanaa is an independent player. After she recovered from a back injury in May 2022 this year, she started her high-performance training program with her Coaches K Jhotiswaran and A Karupathevan. We have been looking for corporate sponsors, but we haven't found any significant ones, therefore we presently rely only on donations from other members and crowdfunding. From October 2022 to December 2022, she participated in 6 events.
We have spent almost RM80,000 on her tournaments, and high-performance training expenses.
Her best results from these 6 tournaments are:
- YONEX BENDIGO INTERNATIONAL 2022: Women Singles Quarterfinalist
- PETRONAS MALAYSIA INTERNATIONAL CHALLENGE 2022: Women singles finalist (Silver Medallist)
Her world rank before started playing tournaments on October 2022: BWF Women's Singles World Rank 554
Current BWF Women Singles World Rank 154
We are looking forward to getting more support from crowdfunding until we get a major or corporate sponsor for K Letshanaa. Thank you so much to the people who have supported K Letshanaa and hopefully more people to support her in future.

I'm inspired by your run in Malaysia International Challenge, proving that independents can go far without BAM's support. Wishing you all the best and whatever happens, please do not give up on your dreams!
