Help save the Med will raise awareness and reach people about one of the most critical issues facing the world- climate change and its destruction of the Mediterranean.

Thanks for the comment below from Mureck23. Unfortunately, for this crowdfunder, we have to go with the system provided by the Wemakeit crowdfunding system. Several other people, particularly those living outside Switzerland, have broached similar issues. One can contribute directly to our direct DONATE link with www.global-geneva.com This enables one to make either direct bank transfers or Paypal and various credit cards. https://global-geneva.com/support-us/

We can then notify Wemakeit so that it becomes part of the crowdfunder. best regards, and thanks for signalling this to us. Ed Girardet

it provides a focus on a region of the globe that means a lot to me and hopefully will stimulate similar initiatives in other parts of the world. We need them dearly....
I do find your system for making donations somehow cumbersome; you may want to compare yours with others, such as wikipedia, Passblue,etc. Perhaps it is just me though... All the very best!
