YAM to all! Hope everyone, guest, member just a random visitor, is having a nice day. This is my first time ever posting a message and please don't judge me hard if you'd get borred reading it. I'm a Sustainable Development MA student currently comleting my degree in North America.  As I am planning to launch an enterpreneural/social development project in a developing former Soviet Tajikistan, within the Tajik Ismaili community, I needed some pieces of useful advice that I hoped to find within this Ismaili international virual community. In a nut shell, the project would assist a group of youngsters to stay off the harsh reality of street life, become self-reliant and further assist the community they live in. As it seems to be the case with most people like me, my concerns obviously regard the findraising component of the project, specifically: 1. What are the chances and shortcuts of raising the needed fund for the project, in the Private Sector; such as: -Ismaili community -JK  -Individual person -International organizations 2. What are the chances of rasing funds in the Public Sector (like International governments)? If you think that the idea is interesting and would like to know more, feel free to email me at: [email protected] If you think that I am just as crazy as the idea itself  just let me know! Again, my best to everyone and any leads would be greatly appreciated! My best, Shodee
