Together, let us revolutionize storytelling by supporting and publishing stories sourced directly from rural storytellers!

Support us in building alternative digital rural livelihoods.

Our Goal

In the short-term, Voices of Rural India aims to create a revenue stream for affected communities through digital journalism. It will help develop digital storytelling skills using basic tools at the grassroots level, with a focus on women and the youth.

In the long run, Voices of Rural India aims to become a repository of oral traditions, local folklore, and the culture of rural India, documented in local voices. The digital skills thus acquired can be used to support rural entrepreneurship ventures.

Our Process

Our Budget

Since the inception of the project, a group of passionate volunteers have been putting in their time, skills, and effort to bring VoRI to life. In our first phase, we plan to raise funds for 200 stories and kickstart our journey of creating digital rural livelihoods.

The funds raised, will be used to directly remunerate the storytellers.

Particulars Total
Remuneration for first time Storytellers (120 x 1000) 120000
Remuneration for Storytellers submitting their second story: (20 x 1500) 30000
Remuneration for Storytellers submitting their third story: (120 x 2000) 120000
Total Funds to be Raised INR 270000

Your contribution will help bring one story online, by identifying, training, curating, editing, and supporting a rural storyteller.

₹1000 – 1st story

₹1500 – 2nd story

₹2000 – 3rd story

Funds are directly paid in the accounts of the storytellers.
