Do you know the definition of an NGO? Foreign Agent or Foreign Angel? What is the role of NGO? The United Nations (U.N.) Department of Public Information (DPI) defines the NGO as “a not-for profit, voluntary citizen's group that is organized on a local, national or international level to address issues in support of the public good". What is the main goal of an NGO? A non-governmental organization, or NGO, typically is established to work toward public or social welfare goals. For instance, an NGO could focus on human rights, voters' rights, healthcare, helping the poor, and preventing cruelty to animals. NGOs can be funded by donations and grants. A non-governmental organisation (NGO) serves as a liaison between the government and the general public. When a few concerns do not reach the government or are not resolved, NGO functions play an essential part in assigning these issues to the government.

As Wimbledon kicks off today, we’re challenging the players to hit their fastest serves and support our pledge to donate up to 75,000 connections to bridge the digital divide for sports clubs. Our research shows that 43% of Brits would struggle to identify sports opportunities without digital connectivity, while a third (33%) face the same for their children.   The ‘Connect Better’ challenge is part of our everyone.connected programme, which aims to help four million people and businesses cross the digital divide by 2025.   By providing essential digital resources and support, we aim to empower grassroots clubs and businesses to benefit from the opportunities that connectivity brings. https://lnkd.in/e6p52zfx   #TogetherWeCan #TheNationsNetwork #Wimbledon #ConnectBetter #EveryoneConnected

We’re celebrating a year of impact on the Scout Donation Platform with a dollar-for-dollar matching campaign for the impactful Uganda Scouts for Clean Water project, thanks to a generous BP Fellow. Donate today and double your impact: https://lnkd.in/eVAbKwXt   Discover how Gidds, John and their Scouts are taking a long-term, holistic approach to tackling not only water insecurity but also illiteracy, inequalities in accessing education, food security, the spread of waterborne diseases and poverty reduction. With your support, their project will provide 6,200+ inhabitants in four villages access to clean, safe water, through the construction of borehole water and protected spring wells.   They will also be supporting: ⚜ Education: reducing the time children walk to fetch clean water each day means they’ll spend more time in the classrooms, tackling illiteracy to break the cycle of poverty. ⚜ Health: access to clean water will reduce waterborne diseases, which cause diarrhoea, the second leading cause of death in children under five and help combat malnutrition and stunting. ⚜ Women & girls, who are disproportionately impacted by the water crisis and spend at least twice as much time collecting water, massively impacting their education and safety. ⚜ Food security & poverty reduction: better access to water will benefit agricultural production to improve nutrition and increase the income of beneficiaries. Let’s help Scouts provide clean water to thousands of families, breaking the cycle of poverty and promoting health and education in Uganda.   Every dollar you donate to this project (up to USD 7,500) will be matched by a generous #BPFellow. 

One of the biggest challenges nonprofits face across the African continent is the lack of accessible fundraising platforms, particularly for crowdfunding. But Mayekoo is changing the game! Whether you’re from Nima in Ghana, Ikeja in Nigeria, or Katanga in Uganda, you can now register your organization and start raising funds with ease. 💡 I had the privilege of meeting the founder of Mayekoo, who traveled all the way from California, USA, to visit us while he was in Ghana. His dedication to supporting nonprofits is inspiring! However, fundraising success goes beyond platforms—it’s about applying nonprofit principles and building the right networks. If you’re looking to connect with like-minded individuals and organizations, I highly recommend The Nonprofit Hive for effective networking. ✅ To start fundraising: https://mayekoo.com/ ✅ To build your network: https://lnkd.in/eWQwG_kb I only recommend brands that deliver real impact. Let’s empower our communities together! 🙌 #NonprofitFundraising #MayekooImpact #NonprofitHive #AfricanNonprofits #CrowdfundingSolutions #NetworkingForGood #SocialImpact

I remember a time when my entire closet was curtesy of my elder sister. I’d sit patiently on her bed as she goes through her closet, waiting to be handed the clothes she no longer deemed her style. Later on, I would wear the same clothes proudly and dare I say, better than her 😂. This trend is common in many households across the globe 🌍, as is the case in Rwanda. Nonetheless, it gets to a point when even the inherited clothes need to be discarded. Recently, ZaZu LTD did a campaign to understand the lifecycle of clothes among the community members and most importantly, where the clothes go to after no one else can inherit it. This campaign led us to hosting our first ever community based donation event in November 2024, partnering with local community clubs in Kigali Rwanda. Many came to donate and swap clothes and shoes they no longer wear. At the end, we were left with several clothes, all in good condition, donated by well wishers whose main principal is sharing is caring. We also noticed an overall concern over the detrimental effects of these clothes on the environment when poorly discarded and in overflowing landfills. This was only phase one of what ZaZu LTD has in store. Perhaps you can participate in phase 2, as we manage all the garments collected. #sustainability #textilewaste #environmentalresponsibility #community #startup #wastemanagement

Earlier today I was a key speaker at an insightful webinar that Lusoma Advisory held in partnership with TechSoup. The webinar's key aim was to promote localisation practices. In my discussion, I stressed the crucial need for local partners to assert their expertise and interests as equal players in the development process. It's essential for global donors to support communities to recognize their active role in development rather than being passive recipients, a practice that builds dependency. Some partners have been eager to engage and have taken proactive steps to leverage this opportunity and expand their impact. However, there is still some reluctance from others as they wait to see the outcomes before fully committing. Additionally, I addressed the issue of unconscious bias among partners and emphasized the importance of drawing their attention to value based approaches that promote the view that local communities are equal partners in development. https://lnkd.in/dHqr9W-N  #socialchange #localgivingpractices #resourcemobilization #fundraising #localpartners TechSoup NGOsource

Empowerment Through Sport: Africa’s Boot Drive- Fundraising https://gofund.me/b4f861a1 I'm thrilled to announce the launch of our GoFundMe campaign, "Empowerment Through Sport: Africa’s Boot Drive". Our mission is to provide quality football boots to young, aspiring footballers in Malawi, using football as an empowerment tool for digital inclusion. In many parts of Africa, football is more than just a game. It's a beacon of hope, a source of community, and a platform for young people to showcase their talent. However, many of these young players don't have access to basic football gear, like boots. They play barefoot on rough terrains, which not only hampers their performance but also puts them at risk of injuries. Each pair of boots costs $12 to manufacture. This cost includes the materials, labour, to ensure that the boots are of good quality and can withstand the rough terrains where these children play. We're aiming to raise £100,000. This will allow us to buy and distribute football boots to over 5000 young players. But we can't do it alone. We need your help. By donating to our cause, you're not just buying a pair of boots; you're investing in a child's dream. You're giving them the opportunity to play the game they love without fear of injury. You're helping them take one step closer to their goal. Join us in making a difference.
