ReFi Paramaribo | Innovators Buzz: An innovative community rooted in regeneration & technology
# **ReFi Paramaribo: An innovative community rooted in regeneration and technology**

ReFi Paramaribo, part of Innovators Buzz, aims to empower local individuals and organizations to come together and create a more sustainable and equitable future by providing a co-working space, resources, education, impact projects and networking opportunities for local innovation actors. 

**Catalyze a regenerative future in Suriname** 🌱 **Become a contributor for ReFi Paramaribo today!**

As Suriname's economy has been spiraling downwards for years, and traditional financial systems have failed to address the root causes of this issue. We believe that a regenerative finance approach, which prioritizes creating positive social impact and environmental outcomes, can help to address these challenges and generate more resilient opportunities in Suriname.

ReFi Paramaribo connects local change makers and innovators to a network of like-minded individuals, resources, and opportunities to turn ideas into reality, for a more sustainable and positive future for Suriname.

Any additional funds will be used to expand our reach and impact through marketing and outreach efforts.

Here are some of our upcoming projects:
- Food for Tomorrow: [Document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1km7fDG2BITpqyEXfCysY5uI1mVawK018416EOUU97n8/edit?usp=sharing)
- "Dobru" & "Growth Guides": [Document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/11Y3O3YJwJBrpJDYSPLdk8duU8MC6bddzSIgTopmOe8w/edit?usp=sharing)
