Milaap are committed to the goal of serving as many communities as we can with an impeccable focus on accountability, transparency, and engagement. This means that every project on Milaap is verified for authenticity and reviewed before going live. The progress updates are posted by the project owners and our community to keep the donors updated. Now, Milaap wants to take it one step further, and offer fellows a chance to make the process even better and more transparent.
Milaap is India's leading crowd funding platform for personal and social causes. Our community of funders come from 120 countries across the world, having supported nearly 50,000 projects, impacting 200,000 lives across India.
