There is a lot to be said about the human race, but one thing that will always stand out is how we turn up for one another in times of need. Yes, selfishness took over during the first months of the pandemic as everyone stocked on toilet paper and forgot about the next customer. But custom shows when there is someone in need, their community will show up and help in any way possible. A great example of this is crowdfunding.

Crowdfunding has been going strong for years in many different ways. Neighbors used to do fundraisers to help one in need. Several organizations hosted dinner events to raise money. And more recently, individuals have moved their fundraisers to digital platforms. The internet gives you the opportunity to share your thoughts, needs, and opinions globally. For that reason, people decide to share their fundraisers online, hoping to receive help from anywhere in the world.

As the demand grew, and more people began using digital crowdfunding platforms, more companies were founded to help users. John Symonds knew what it was like having a fundraiser and asking people to donate to your cause. He decided to create FreeFunder to give people a more accessible and cheaper option based on his personal experience.

One quick Google search will give you a list of at least 10 different crowdfunding platforms available to you. Although they may all look the same, they are very different and offer a variety of services. FreeFunder stands out for its many wonderful features, and four of them have been making their users extremely happy.

No Fees: Unlike most of their competitors, FreeFunder has no fees. Users can sign up and hold their fundraisers for free, and if their supporters wish to, they can give a donation to keep the platform running.
They Donate: As most online fundraisers are shared on social media, particularly Facebook, FreeFunder donates up to $70 to your cause based on Facebook shares.
Text-To-Donate: Once the campaign is created, FreeFunder allows its users to select a keyword for their donors to text and donate immediately, making it easier to promote and share the fundraiser offline.
Embedded Fundraiser Widgets: Because everything is done online, you might have your own website where you want to share your campaign. FreeFunder gives you the option to embed the fundraiser directly onto your site. This allows visitors to donate directly from there without having to open several tabs or leave your page.

The truth is we all have a human instinct to help our neighbor, our community members, and crowdfunding has given us the possibility to give a hand to those in need. FreeFunder has made this even more possible by creating a space in which users are not charged for simply asking for help.

You deserve to have a place where you can reach out to the community and ask for help when you need to fund your medical appointment, pay for rent, or cover a vet bill. If you are looking for a platform that allows you to share your campaign with the world, add donations to your cause, and text-to-donate, FreeFunder is your go-to crowdfunding option.

Turkish Textile Giant Sun Textile Solution Proposal for Drought

While the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations (UN) are seeking solutions to combat drought through various projects, Ekoten Textile, a subsidiary of Turkey’s textile giant Sun Textile, has developed a groundbreaking project in collaboration with a technology startup to minimize the intensive water consumption in the textile industry. This pioneering project, the first of its kind globally, will enable the recycling and reuse of up to 90% of the water used in textile production.

Drought is one of the most pressing issues facing the world today. According to WHO data, 40% of the global population is struggling with water scarcity. By 2030, up to 700 million people could be forced to migrate due to drought. The unconscious use of water in global production processes plays a significant role in the rapid depletion of clean water resources.

The textile industry is one of the sectors with the highest water consumption. In Turkey, while the food industry consumes 22% of the water used for industrial purposes, the textile sector follows closely with 18%. For instance, producing an average of 40 tons of products daily requires 2,500 tons of water, equivalent to the daily water consumption of approximately 10,000 people.

CLEAN WATER RESOURCES FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE EVERY DAY!

In textile production, where clean water resources are heavily consumed, the innovative success of the Turkish company stands out as a global best practice. This initiative will shape the future of the industry. The wastewater recycling project, developed through intensive R&D efforts, will ensure that over 90% of the required water is sourced from recycled supplies.

The reuse of wastewater in production will transform the fate of countries operating in the textile sector. By preventing the use of clean water resources for textile production, this project will free up clean water sources that can meet the daily needs of hundreds of thousands of people.

R&D ACTIVITIES IN 38 COUNTRIES WITH 380 PARTNERS!

Sun Textile places great emphasis on R&D activities, conducting research and development efforts with 380 partners across 38 countries. Sun Textile and its subsidiary Ekoten Textile export nearly 90% of their production, solidifying their identity as a leading exporter. The company ships products to numerous destinations worldwide, including European countries, the UK, and the US. Sun Textile, the leading ready-to-wear exporter in the Aegean Region, achieved a consolidated turnover of 250 million euros in the third quarter of 2024, continuing its active growth trajectory.

OFFERING CUSTOM DESIGNS TO CUSTOMERS

Sun Textile provides its own designed collections to leading brands in Europe and the UK. Ekoten Textile, its subsidiary, is among the most respected knitted fabric manufacturers in Turkey and Europe.

With a dedicated sales team for each major customer group and five design offices in three different countries, Sun Textile creates designs tailored to its customers’ needs. Its largest clients include the Inditex Group, H&M, Jimmy Key, Tesco, Kiabi, Marks & Spencer, and Next.

Sun Textile also extends its sustainability approach to social responsibility, notably for its high ratio of female employees. The company, which went public in 2022, is also listed in dividend indexes.
