Launch of our fundraising campaign - please contribute to our platform's sustenance
In the face of challenging times for news and translation organizations, the Group of Helping Hands (SAHAS) Nepal is launching a donation campaign to raise USD 250,000. This non-profit NGO, founded in 1996 and focused on development work in rural areas, is the organisation behind the website in question.
The website, which prides itself on its growing production and readership, has chosen to never show ads or paywall its content, maintaining a commitment to accessibility. However, the increasing costs associated with running the site have become a significant challenge.
Historically, the website has been primarily supported by foundations and grant-makers. However, recent sharp cuts to foreign aid by several governments have reduced the available funds for nonprofits, particularly affecting digital rights organisations like this one.
To bridge this gap, the website is seeking donations to support its staff, who make up the majority of its expenses. The website considers itself as a community and invites readers to be a part of it. Each contribution, regardless of amount, is seen as important.
The website plans to share updates about the campaign and the website on social media, encouraging readers to spread the word. It expresses gratitude for the support and hopes to receive contributions from its readers. The funds from the campaign will support the community of researchers, writers, editors, translators, and advocates who work tirelessly to keep the news and translation sites running.

The website is committed to never paywalling its content and considers each contribution as a vital step towards ensuring that quality news and translation services remain accessible to all. If you'd like to be a part of this community, consider making a donation today.
