Hi everyone, this is Aurora from Zero Waste Malaysia (ZWM)!
ZWM is a registered nonprofit organisation fighting for a zero waste future. Since we started in 2016, We have done many amazing projects, for example the two Zero Waste Fest, the Asia’s first Zero Waste Map with accumulated 200k views; Zero Waste Event Handbook in 3 languages; a FB community with more than 30k members; the first-of-its-kind Zero Waste Pledge, and the Speakers Team that has gave numerous talks in various events.
In the past four years, ZWM has been 100% run by volunteers and we think now is the right timing to move towards a professional management. As much as we would like to be financially independent and self sustainable, we need your help to jump start the process.
From the 1st December, we launch a one-month long fundraising campaign to raise RM100,000 for ZWM to fuel our 2020 projects. This is the first time we do major public fundraising campaign, the target might seem huge but in front of the stressing climate crisis, we believe we need to be ambitious and speed up our work.
In 2020, we plan to hire full time staff, to give more free talks to public schools, to give free certification services to the nonprofits, to design a lesson plan to be incorporated in the middle schools syllabus and to further upgrade the free Zero Waste Map. Everything that we have done, are doing and will be doing is for one goal: to change the system and rebuild a low waste society.
We have received generous help from Boost, Fave, Google, Simplygiving, zero waste stores and many more partners but as a grassroots organisation, we need every one of you from the community to support our work.
If you want to do something for the environment but don’t know how to, if you trust ZWM and believe in our values, if you think we have done good job and would like us to continue, you can help us by fund raising for us or donating any small amount to us. No matter it’s RM100, rm10 or rm1, if we get support from all of you, we can achieve the goal by the end of the campaign.
To personally support this campaign, I pledge to give a free public talk at selected nonprofit event for every RM1000 raised through my page.
I am reaching the target soon but my campaign will continue until the 31st of December 2019. Please continue to donate!
Due to the limited time I will be staying in malaysia in the next year, the first three talks generated from the first RM3000 from this campaign will be conducted by me. Please contact me at
[email protected] if you would like me to share my Zero Waste stories at the nonprofits you are working for. The date for my talks will be at around the end of January 2020.
For every RM1000 raised onwards, one free talk will be carried out by the speakers team of Zero Waste Malaysia.
Don’t forget what we always say, one step at a time, every baby step counts. Now I want to change it to “one donation at a time, every single cent count!”. Let’s work together to build an independent, professional, neutral and transparent ZWM, a nonprofit organisation fighting for all.
