Help Mama Engge and the women of Raja Ampat build community coconut oil businesses.

A fundraising plea from Mama Engge of Saporkren village in West Papua's Raja Ampat islands. Please help, either by donating at gofund.me/0f28... or by sharing this video and link.
COVID has destroyed tourism-dependent village economies in Raja Ampat, and has left local communities with no choice but to return to fishing for survival.
PT Bahari Perjampat Sejahtera (PT PERJAMPAT) is a social enterprise founded by members of the Raja Ampat Homestay Association. PERJAMPAT is striving to provide island communities with sustainable alternatives to the old, exploitative practices that the covid pandemic has forced many people to return to.
PERJAMPAT has developed a new, sustainable business that is already providing incomes to the pilot participants. Unfortunately, the organisation's ability to deliver this lifeline to remote island communities has been blocked by the collapse of its own income stream... while just US $4000 short of the amount needed to make it happen.
Your donation will enable PERJAMPAT to continue its work to protect Raja Ampat's incredible marine riches from unsustainable exploitation, and will ensure that local communities have livelihoods that allow them to remain in control of their ancestral lands.
Thank you!
