Avoid using Mercury across Indonesia
Fundahope Campaign Proposal "Clean Gold Revolution: Mercury-Free Mining in Indonesia"... Target: USD 500,000 Executive Summary Action Mining Services Indonesia (AMSI), a trusted gold mining solutions provider since 2008, launches a Fundahope campaign to eliminate mercury use in artisanal and small-scale gold mining across Indonesia. This initiative will introduce mercury-free technologies, training, and support to protect the environment and community health while increasing miners’ income. Goal: Raise USD 500,000 to create scalable, sustainable clean mining practices nationwide. The Problem Mercury is widely used by Indonesian artisanal miners, causing severe river pollution, soil contamination, and serious health issues (neurological damage, especially in children). Indonesia is one of the world’s largest mercury emitters from gold mining. Safe alternatives exist but are not widely adopted due to lack of equipment, training, and support. Campaign Objectives & Solutions Deploy efficient mercury-free equipment (gravity separators, centrifuges, shaking tables, etc.). Train 1,000+ miners in clean processing methods. Establish 10–15 pilot sites in key areas (Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Sumatra, Papua, etc.). Provide technical surveys, on-site support, and access to better “clean gold” markets. AMSI will handle equipment fabrication (from our Pasuruan workshop), supply, training, and implementation using our 18+ years of experience. Budget Breakdown (USD 500,000) - Equipment & Technology: $225,000 (45%) - Training & Capacity Building: $100,000 (20%) - Field Operations & Surveys: $75,000 (15%) - Monitoring & Awareness: $50,000 (10%) - Administration & Contingency: $50,000 (10%) Expected Impact Reduce mercury use by 70–90% in target areas. Improve miner health and increase gold recovery (20–50%). Create a replicable national model for clean mining. Support Indonesia’s Minamata Convention commitments. About AMSI Since 2008, AMSI has been a complete provider of gold mining equipment, manufacturing, chemical supplies, gold detectors (Minelab, Nokta, etc.), and technical services across Indonesia.

How the Environment Impacts Health and the Economy ​A healthy environment is the foundation for both a strong body and a strong financial system. When the environment suffers, both our physical well-being and our bank accounts feel the pressure. ​1. Environmental Impact on Health ​The environment acts as our life-support system. When it is clean, we thrive; when it is polluted, we face significant risks. • ​Clean Air: High air quality reduces the prevalence of respiratory diseases like asthma, bronchitis, and lung cancer. It also lowers the risk of heart disease and strokes. • ​Safe Water: Access to clean water is essential for preventing waterborne diseases such as cholera, dysentery, and typhoid. • ​Food Security: Healthy soil and stable climates ensure a steady supply of nutritious food, preventing malnutrition and related health issues. • ​Mental Well-being: Access to green spaces (parks, forests) is scientifically proven to lower stress, anxiety, and depression. ​2. Environmental Impact on the Economy ​Economics often looks at the environment as "natural capital." If we deplete this capital, the economy eventually slows down or becomes more expensive to maintain. • ​Resource Productivity: Industries like agriculture, fishing, and forestry depend directly on healthy ecosystems. Soil degradation or overfishing leads to job losses and higher food prices. • ​Cost Savings (Healthcare): A cleaner environment means fewer people in hospitals. This saves governments and individuals billions in medical bills and keeps the workforce healthy and productive. • ​Disaster Mitigation: Healthy environments, like mangroves and wetlands, act as natural barriers against floods and storms. This prevents the massive costs associated with rebuilding infrastructure after a natural disaster. • ​Tourism: Many countries rely on their natural beauty (beaches, mountains, wildlife) to attract international tourists, which brings in significant foreign currency.

Second Life for Tech: Fighting E-Waste & Empowerin
Unsere Vision: Elektronik retten, Fachkräfte bilden, Bildung weltweit ermöglichen. Hallo zusammen, wir werfen in Deutschland jedes Jahr Millionen Tonnen von Elektroschrott weg – oft Geräte, die mit ein wenig Fachwissen noch jahrelang halten würden. Gleichzeitig fehlt es in vielen Ländern an bezahlbarer IT für Schulen, und angehende Fachkräfte bei uns haben zu wenig Möglichkeiten für echte Praxisarbeit. Ich gründe eine innovative Recycling- und Bildungsfirma, die diese Probleme gemeinsam löst. Unser Konzept: Rettung: Wir holen ausgediente IT-Hardware (Laptops, PCs, Tablets) direkt bei deutschen Unternehmen ab. Qualifizierung: Unter professioneller Anleitung reparieren und modernisieren Auszubildende und Studenten diese Geräte. Sie sammeln wertvolle Praxiserfahrung und werden zu den IT-Experten von morgen. Wirkung: Die generalüberholten Geräte werden nicht teuer weiterverkauft, sondern gehen zu fairen Preisen an Bildungseinrichtungen in Entwicklungsländern. Warum wir Ihre Unterstützung brauchen: Um dieses "hochwertige Kreislauf-Konzept" zu starten, benötigen wir das Startkapital für: Die Ersteinrichtung einer Werkstatt mit professionellem Prüf-Equipment. Logistikkosten für die Abholung der Geräte bei Firmen. Zertifizierungen, damit unsere Exporte sicher und legal als "geprüfte Gebrauchtware" ankommen. Jeder Euro zählt! Egal ob 1 Euro oder 100 Euro – jeder Beitrag hilft uns, die erste Tonne Elektroschrott vor der Deponie zu retten und stattdessen in ein Klassenzimmer zu bringen. Helfen Sie uns, eine Brücke zwischen Ökologie, Bildung und Technik zu bauen. Vielen Dank für Ihre Unterstützung! Hello everyone, Every year in Germany, millions of tons of electronic waste are discarded—often devices that could last for many more years with just a little expert repair. At the same time, schools in many developing countries lack affordable IT equipment, and our local students and apprentices often lack hands-on experience with real-world technology. I am founding an innovative recycling and education venture that solves these problems simultaneously. Our Concept: Recovery: We collect decommissioned IT hardware (laptops, PCs, tablets) directly from German companies. Training: Under professional guidance, apprentices and university students repair and modernize these devices. They gain valuable practical experience and become the IT experts of tomorrow. Impact: These refurbished devices are not sold for high profits. Instead, they are provided at affordable rates to educational institutions in developing countries. Why We Need Your Support: To launch this "High-Quality Circular Concept," we need initial capital for: Setting up our first workshop with professional diagnostic and repair equipment. Logistics costs for collecting hardware from corporate partners. Certifications to ensure our exports are safe, legal, and recognized as "certified refurbished goods." Every Euro (or Dollar) Counts! Whether it’s $1 or $100—every contribution helps us save the first ton of e-waste from the landfill and place it into a classroom instead. Help us build a bridge between ecology, education, and technology. Thank you so much for your support! "Even the smallest contribution makes a difference. If everyone who sees this donates just $1, we will reach our goal in no time!"
