1st October 2009
Hi,
It is that time of the year when we are coming together in support of our children, both orphan and vulnerable by mobilizing for them educational support. And the count has just begun.
Our First Edition of the KCDN Child Support last year on 5th December 2008 was a big success. We supported 250 children in need with books, stationery and uniforms and as a result, many children and their parents came to us. We listened to their stories, visited with them, talked with their teachers and we were moved. We made up our mind that we will mobilize support for the ones that looked most deserving. We came up with a list of 1950 such deserving cases and on 4th December 2009, we will give them what you shall have given to us.
As we did last year, we can once again come together and be of help to our children. This is what we need;

Hi this sounds like a very noble cause . I would like to suggest however that a system is built into your outreach that ensures full accountability of monies recieved and spent. There are many ways to do this and I believe once this is available to all donors and sponsors, you will be able to recieve many more donations. An idea may be to have a website with a local mpesa donate tab that will allow folk to send via thier phones and be able to see their proceeds arrive in the organisations funds via a real time analytic web tool. (showing graphs on demographics of senders, amount in shillings etc)
ReplyDeleteWith regards to Uniforms, I would like to share a model with you called EduShare which may be much more productive at raising the necessary uniforms, shoes sports gear etc cost effectively.
