Donors raise nearly 1.5 million roubles for Ingush family’s house
The authors of the project "House with windows into happiness" managed to raise nearly 1.5 million roubles to build a house for a large Djandigov family. Most of the funds – 950,000 roubles – were raised by means of crowdfunding, which was praised by the "Solidarity" Charity Fund as highly efficient.
According to Lilia Mukhamedyarova, the head of the fund, in the village of Troitskaya in Ingushetia, in a shabby "dugout", Luiza Djandigova lives with her six children. Her husband perished two years ago in a car accident.
The fund decided to "test fundraising by crowdfunding with the help of the Planeta.ru platform." The project was launched on January 24 and targets at 1.558 million raised roubles.
Ms Mukhamedyarova has reported that almost 1.5 million roubles have been raised – the rest of the sum was donated by "permanent volunteers of the fund."
She added that "the situation with the Djandigov family is typical for the large families, which have no breadwinners."
In Northern Caucasus, the "Solidarity" Fund operates since 2009. As stated by Lilia Mukhamedyarova, her fund proclaims "absolute transparency in receiving and distributing the sponsors’ funds."
