Dear Friends,
In early 2018, CITTA will build the Rani Ratnavati Girls School and Women’s Cooperative in Jaisalmer, India. With your contributions, 400 girls will be offered a formal education while over 45 women are trained in heritage embroidery and crafts—traditional techniques which are at risk of being lost. The center will support the women in forming a cooperative—to sell their work both locally and abroad. Within a few years, the project will become self-sustaining.
For 2017 & '18, Rarefied Raiment aspires to raise $45,000 for CITTA and the Jaisalmer project. In addition to your donations, a percentage of each sale will be contributed to this fundraiser. To learn more, please visit:
Thank you so much for visiting our fundraising page and for all your generous contributions! We feel honored to have raised over $2500 for December 2017, and look forward to a prosperous New Year. Having reached 6% of our goal, our next milestone will be $4500 for 10%. To support our efforts, we invite you to Join the Team and Create Your Own Fundraiser. And, of course, please feel free to share our campaign with anyone who may be interested!
With Love,
Eva & Ryan
