I suppose Asia can do a lot better than 3 million, but I don't augur much success with increasing those campaigns for Africa and South America, at least using the current model.
Looking by the sample I know in Brazil (last year fundraising campaign, in August I believe) the Brazilian Portuguese Wikipedia readers often got enraged to the point of vandalizing articles stating their disgust for a campaign asking money to an impoverished country (even more saying 10$ was the cost of a coffee there). Others "donated" money or attempted to donate it thinking it was a kind of a fee for being allowed to read Wikipédia (kind of a subscription).
