Supporting Balkan communities, people, and culture by supporting Balkan medicine…
This fundraiser is still going on to support research, classification, and production of Balkan Folk Medicine. This project will go on to financially and culturally benefit the pan-Balkan community, alongside bringing our ancestral herbal medicine into this and all future generations to share our methods of healing with everyone!
Any donations to this project would be widely appreciated and will be used for: compensating knowledge sharers/interviewees, purchasing grow room equipment, and purchasing seeds.
The $1000+ we have received so far has gone a long way, and we have successfully been able to acquire grow room equipment, including lights, shelves, and soil! All forthcoming money will be set aside to give to interviewees as a contribution for their time and knowledge. We aspire to be able to compensate each interviewee generously.
When it's all said and done, we will be using the traditional ingredients and recipes to create products you can purchase through our website Shop. 50% of the profits from the sale of these specific cultural items will go to select non-profits around the Balkans to promote quality of life, protect the environment, reduce bureaucratic corruption, preserve cultural traditions and indigenous ways of life/knowledge, promote social cohesion, and foster financial autonomy through small businesses/entrepreneurship!
