Resumo

In order to raise KES 400.000, 3 major fundraising techniques have been employed. The organisation had set a target per activity.

Luncheon - friends of Life Bloom came for a luncheon every Monday till the end of April. 2 staffs and 1 volunteer organised the luncheons and were engaged in the cooking. After the luncheon, the participants for the day contributed towards the construction of the perimeter wall.

Online fundraising - staffs were tasked with the role of circulating online M-Changa (online platform) links to their networks. Every staff had a target amount that they pledged to raise at the end of the fundraising period. There have been some flyers circulating to the potential donors, with the perimeter wall fundraising story line, as a support document to the cause of local fundraising.

Evening tea - the event was held on 7th April 2017 at Kenvash Hotel, Naivasha.

Through the three fundraising techniques applied, Life Bloom raised KES 129.350.



Dicas e lições aprendidas

1. Time – for a successful event, time management is crucial.
2. LBSI learned that you need to spend so as to gain cash, since you need also to value your guests.
3. It is important to engage previous partners.
4. Volunteers are crucial.
5. There is a need to involve the beneficiaries in local fundraising.

Revisão de Wilde Ganzen Foundation

Life Bloom Services International designed a concerted fundraising effort in order to raise financial and in-kind donations to complete their new premises with a perimeter wall. They invested in hot lunches and a well-attended evening tea, where the participants learned about the project and were asked for their contributions. And the organisation's staff was eager to do its part, which allowed LBSI to make very clever use of M-Changa, an online fundraising platform. Staff members set themselves fundraising targets and posted links to their networks on M-Changa. LSBI furthermore received building materials and could count on the active participation of their volunteers.
Although LSBI did not raise the entire amount needed, they gained valuable experience and learned useful lessons (see 'Tips and lessons learned').

Detalhes

Breve descrição da organização para que o dinheiro foi arrecadado
Life Bloom Services International (LBSI) is a Non-Profit Organisation registered with the NGO Coordination Bureau in Kenya. LBSI journeys with the women and girls who have experienced abuse and exploitation in the sex work industry. Most of them, both under age and adults, are trafficked to and through Naivasha/Nairobi as domestic workers and casual workers in the flower farms or hotel industry, but often ending up in sexual exploitation and sex work. Since 2004, Life Bloom Services International has received, rescued, counseled, and offered vocational and business skills training to women and girls, survivors of sexual-based violence and local human trafficking. Over the years, LBSI has been able to directly benefit 8500 women/girls and a small number of men. 1.161 women/girls have been trained and certified on various courses which includes the 5 steps training curriculum (financial literacy, leadership skills, literacy skills and vocational training) 418 peer mentors and 43 senior mentors have been trained. Most of the beneficiaries have started their own businesses. Others are into employment. The majority has also exited from sex work. The 6 LBSI staff members keep on coaching, mentoring and monitoring the women/girls especially on their personal growth and businesses.

Breve descrição do projecto ou programa para que o dinheiro foi arrecadado
The Women One Stop Centre (WOSC) in Naivasha, constructed with funds and resources from well-wishers in Kenya and beyond will be a place where all Life Bloom services are offered by the staff and 43 senior peer mentors. Though the classrooms and work stations are ready, and there is running water, the compound remains un-used because the fence to secure the place and keep off the wild animals has not been completed yet.
