Campaign Title: Stop Mercury Poisoning in Indonesia’s Artisanal Gold Mining

Goal: Raise €999,999 to transform artisanal gold mining in Indonesia with mercury-free solutions.

Description:
For 17 years, as a gold mining business consultant based in Surabaya, Indonesia, I’ve worked closely with artisanal miners and witnessed the devastating impact of mercury use in illegal and small-scale gold mining. Mercury, used to extract gold, poisons miners, their families, and surrounding communities. It contaminates rivers, kills fish, and destroys ecosystems, leaving a toxic legacy for generations. In Indonesia, thousands of miners rely on this dangerous practice due to a lack of affordable alternatives and knowledge.

This campaign aims to break this cycle. Your support will fund mercury-free processing equipment, hands-on training for miners, and community education to promote safe, sustainable mining practices. With €999,999, we can empower miners across key regions, protect their health, and restore polluted environments. As someone who has advised mining operations for nearly two decades, I’m committed to driving this change with transparency and impact. Together, we can make artisanal mining in Indonesia safer and cleaner!

Call to Action: Donate today to save lives, protect ecosystems, and end mercury use in Indonesia’s gold mines!

Budget Breakdown:

€600,000: Purchase and distribute mercury-free processing equipment (e.g., shaking tables, gold concentrators) to artisanal mining communities.

€300,000: Conduct training workshops for 2,000+ miners on safe, mercury-free techniques across Indonesia’s mining regions.

€99,999: Launch awareness campaigns, monitor program impact, and educate communities on mercury’s dangers.

Why Support This Cause?

Health Impact: Mercury exposure causes neurological damage, kidney failure, and birth defects. Miners and their families are at high risk.

Environmental Protection: Mercury pollutes water sources, harming wildlife and communities downstream.

Sustainability: Equipping miners with mercury-free tools ensures long-term livelihoods without toxic trade-offs.

Expertise You Can Trust: With 17 years in the industry, I’ve built networks and knowledge to implement effective solutions.
