We support the development of fund-raising capacities by:

  • mentoring, consulting, and facilitation of meetings with potential local fund providers;
  • writing of projects that have the potential to be funded from public funds, where NGOs are eligible partners;

We support public awareness building

on problems related to education, through promotion campaigns and best practice exchanges, which encourage collaboration between organisations.

What is the required engagement?

  • active participation in the project activities, workshops and events;
  • support in accessing information from the community to create adequate instruments to support the development of the NGO;
  • promotion of the project events on your own media channels;
  • at the end of the project, replicating the know-how acquired to two other NGOs in the community, in order to ensure the continuity and sustainability of the project after its completion.

In terms of sustainability and impact, we know very well that a whole village is needed to raise a child, and a whole country is needed to solve systemic problems that have such a devastating impact as those we see in education. It is the time to join our forces and create a space for shared initiatives that will truly support children in vulnerable environments.
