August 31, 2012  |  No Comments  |  by admin  |  jobsrss

OneProsper International is a new Canadian charity focussed on improving food security in India.

We have provided 100 small farmers in India with innovative drip irrigation kits, enabling them to double their incomes.

Our goal is to create a crowdfunding website to enable people to make small donations towards subsidizing the cost of purchasing drip irrigation kits. We are seeking help to design the website and to create a business plan.
