Kite Products
recently launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo for the
company’s first product to market, Kite Shield. Through the crowdfunding
campaign, the company not only hopes to protect those who suffer from
the annoyance of mosquitoes, but also make a difference in people’s
lives through philanthropic efforts with the Malaria No More and This is Our Youth organizations.
Kite
Shield is a philanthropic partner with Malaria No More, a nonprofit
organization that aims to end the death of individuals infected by
Malaria. Together, Kite Shield and Malaria No More want to combat the
mosquito through multiple perk levels on Kite Shield’s Indiegogo
campaign page. When an individual contributes $110 to the Kite Shield
campaign, $50 is donated to Malaria No More; when $250 is contributed,
$120 is donated; and when $500 is contributed, $250 is donated, all less
third party processing fees.
Kite
will be sponsoring This is Our Youth on their “Raft the Amazon” mission
to protect and support those who are assisting in the future of our
planet. This summer, a group of young explorers and philanthropists will
be provided samples of Kite Shield to protect themselves from
mosquitoes as they trek through the Amazon. Kite will also be providing
the explorers with the necessary funds for satellite internet. This will
allow the organization to stay connected and publicize their trip.
“We
are going to be sailing across the Amazon River, the largest river in
South America with nothing but a few cell phones and cameras. Our only
goal is to share the stories that have stayed silenced. With clear minds
and the strength to keep the project's purpose, we must show the youth
what is happening and what we can do to remedy the issues that plague
the Amazon.” - Roberto D. Ortiz, Founder of This Is Our Youth
The
“Raft the Amazon” mission is geared toward documenting the
deforestation of the Amazon, also known as “The War on Deforestation”,
as well as animal agriculture. The travelers will go through the Amazon
starting at Coca, through Ecuador and finally to Manaus, Brazil on a
bamboo, solar-powered raft.
Currently,
interested individuals can back Kite Shield starting at a $20
contribution for a 100ml bottle, including shipping and handling. To
