Locally-led non-profits and the communities involved have the expertise and knowledge to tackle the social injustices in their local setting. These NGOs are the first to respond, last to leave, and are responsible for 70% of all impact in development cooperation. However, they directly receive only 2% of the total global aid budget.
Imagine how much impact can be made, if locally-led NGOs would receive more than this marginal 2%! That is exactly our ambition!

Help us to promote iMPACT direct or one of the projects in your network in Kenya or abroad: https://impactdirect.eu/project/

We have brochures, website, socials, mailings present.
Let's brainstorm on what works best. For example, invite people to a presentation of one of our NGOs. Or sending a mailing around. Or you may have this other great promotion idea, that we can support, to jointly support the locally-led NGOs we are working for.

In turn, they work for people living below the poverty line in their communities, offering local sustainable solutions on income, food security & climate, and education. Currently we have reached 10,000 people in 5 African countries. In 2023, we aim to reach out to 15,000 people.

NewBeginnings is the only NGO working in some of the remotest villages in the Nandyal and Kurnool districts of Andhra Pradesh, India. The region is known for chronic droughts and poverty. This generational drought resulted in generational poverty.
We want to break this poverty chain and are committed to ensure a better future for the children. Your help and support will help a child to escape the abstract poverty. Your help can save girl children from becoming victims of child marriages. According to a recent survey, the prevalence of child marriage is nearly 30% in Andhra Pradesh. With the support of generous donors and volunteers, we are able to rescue and educate children from the target districts. The need is more, and we need your help.

We are running a fundraising campaign on Give Foundation Inc (Give India Foundation) to educate children, especially girl children from the most marginalized communities in Andhra Pradesh, India.
Child marriage is a complex reality. It is girl children becoming victims of generational poverty. This campaign is imperative to educate children, especially girls, otherwise, they would become victims of child marriages, child labor, and even human trafficking.

You can either promote the already existing campaign among your friends, families, colleagues, and on social media, or you create your fundraiser linked to this campaign and own it. This way, you become a team member and have your own fundraiser to make it successful.
This fundraising campaign will support NCT's Poor Children Education Projects, ensuring children, especially girl children from the poorest communities, complete quality primary and secondary schooling. Of the total sponsored children, 60% of the children are girls, and most of them are orphans. This fund support education of 120 orphan, semi-orphan, and the poorest of the poor children.

Together Center (TC) is a nonprofit human services hub serving the Greater Eastside for over 30 years. The 20+ nonprofit providers located at TC’s campus in Downtown Redmond help 30,000+ people each year via an innovative model that benefits both residents seeking services and the dedicated nonprofits who serve them.

TC is under construction on a landmark project in Downtown Redmond that rebuilds and expands our nonprofit human services hub and adds 280 units of family-focused affordable housing.

As a small nonprofit with a staff of 3 and no marketing department, Together Center is seeking volunteers to help organically spread the word about this innovative model – one of the Eastside’s best kept nonprofit secrets - and the bold redevelopment project now under construction.

Volunteers are asked to come for 1 hour. The first 50 minutes will be an opportunity to learn about TC, the new campus, and view the construction site. The last 10 minutes will be a live promotion period. If volunteers are impressed, they can use the final 10 minutes to post about TC on social media and LinkedIn and/or invite their friends and colleagues to come learn more.

By serving as a mouthpiece for Together Center during this exciting time, volunteers can positively impact the Greater Eastside for years to come by helping make the community aware of TC’s work to reduce health and social disparities and offer wrap-around services for vulnerable populations by uniting nonprofit providers and reducing barriers to service access.

Thanks for considering helping Together Center raise its public profile and visibility via this atypical but valuable and informative volunteer experience!
