Diaspora engagement through crowdfunding – Apura Networks

Apura Networks is a crowdfunding platform that seeks to connect the Surninamese diaspora and other interested professionals and students with enterprises and non-profit initiatives in Suriname. In doing so, it engages the diaspora in Suriname’s social, economic, and cultural development and builds networks between the diaspora and Surinamese residents. Recently, the diaspora co-initiated a project to renovate a nearly 200 years old theatre at the heart of Suriname’s cultural history.
