Good day everyone, I am Olusegun Festus, I am working as sales manager with Dexamedica, i am team builder and business developer. The founder of Ayosoji Model College a non profit private school to give back to my community. I obtained my Bsc in Business administration management from bilingual university of Togo, National Diploma from federal polytechnic Bida and higher Diploam certificate in computer science from Olabisi onabanjo University. I joined his community to develop myself more in order to achieve more now and in the nearest future. Info.amcedu@gmail.com
At Ayosoji Model College, We are providing free education for the sons and doughters of the less previleged in our community, I discovered that many children are rooming the streets everyday because of the lack of money to sponsor their education by their parents, I discovered that there are many children sleeping under the bridges in my community because their parents are no more and nowhere for them to go to for their up bringing, I discovered also that many children are subjected to hard laboure and sexual arasment before they can have a daily meal in my community. I am planning to have boarding facilities to cater for those with no parent, and day school for those that will choose to be staying with their respective parents. This is the mission I am giving to do on earth, In the past, I have tried a lot of entrepreneurs businesses which did not succeed because I was doing a wrong job. I am applying for this fund to remodeling and expand our school, I knew with helping hands these children can have a better tomorrow, I want to give them hope for a better future, hope for the hopeless, I want to be giving them happiness they are lacking that forced them to be sleeping under the bridges, I want to deliver them from their problems by putting smiles on their faces. But, There is no way I can achieve these without a support. Thanks in anticipation of your support of this mission.

@yosep said in Networking...:

We want to raise money so that the youth (Boys and Girls) get the skills needed to apply for employment and also create employment. By successfully completing school, we are creating social capital. This is likely yo lead to the Youths getting together, bringing their skills together and participating in social and economic development. These Youths also get an opportunity to realise that (a) they are the solution to their challenges and that (b) there is a brighter future as they are always going to be able to react to community challenges.

That sounds great @Yosep, thank you for following up!

I encourage you to use this Community to share ideas, ask questions, and connect with others! It can be a really powerful way to build a network :)

@alicew said in Introduction to community:

Thank you for your reply @Mark_G A website is in process.But we have Facebook accounts for Discover Me Initiative and God With Us Children's Home.
Our fundraising goal was to raise Kenyan Shillings 200,000 for purchasing and erecting two tanks.We have however scaled down to one tank and reduced the goal to Kenyan Shillings 60,000 as a realistic goal.The course is very convenient at this time when we are doing our first fundraising.

That sounds great @AliceW! I encourage you to use this Community to make connections with others interested in Fundraising to share ideas, ask questions, and build your network! It is a really great place to connect with others :)

Thank you for being here! I also encourage you to introduce yourself in the Weekly Welcome. That is a great place to connect too :)

@dorthea said in Weekly Welcome 27-AUG-2018 for Fundraising and Resource Mobilization:

Q3. Fundraising has been very difficult. No one is willing to sponsor this project because they think it will not sell their organizations and also there is nothing to gain from the children. This is just a little piece of the long list of reasons we have.

Wow. I am sorry you are having difficulty. Please don't be afraid to start a discussion with that long list of challenges you are facing and perhaps we can all try offering our own experiences, resources, and inspiration.

@mueni said in How to raise unrestricted funds to support social problems like support for survivors of defilement and rape cases especially among young girls.:

Would wish to run a campaign on role of society in Gender Based Violence.

Hello @Mueni , thank you for posting!

It is an important question, so thank you for sharing. Do you have ideas about fundraising? Have you tried it before?

Have you taken our fundraising courses? Those might help you build the skills to help your organization meet its fundraising goals.

I also encourage you to post your question in the Weekly Welcome and see if others there might have ideas for you!

Welcome to the Philanthropy University communities @kahoko / Simon!

A great way to get started is to create a new topic with a question you might have so people can offer what they know or have learned.

Are you taking one or more of the new courses that are opening up soon?
