  • Good day fellow student, my names are Engineer Emeka Kama, a structural civil engineer and a project manager also, CEO of Non-Profit Organisation called VISIONED SKILLS DEVELOPMENT CENTRE, from Nigeria. We train and develop skills in different vocations, most especially, those that are not priviledged to attend conventioal schools due to poor background or lack of fund. At the end of their programmes, Visioned Skills Development Centre (VSDC) help some of them who performed better in their studies with small start up fund, as a way of rewarding them for their good determination to learn.
    I strongly beleived that, studing FUNDRAISING will widen my scopes on how to source for grant to empower the NGO for better operation, which will in turn impart the students positively.

  • My name is Mzikazi Ntuli. I am from South Africa even though I am based in Mozambique. I am a mother, a passionate human rights activist, an Entrepreneur, and co-founder of a company that promotes innovative and technological solutions. I also do a lot of consultancy work in the areas of education, Sexual and Reproductive health, gender and women empowerment issues.
    I am delighted to be doing this course. My goal is to learn how to write winning proposals. I have been doing fund-raising work for the past 15 years and writing proposals. I however feel that I have not been as successful in my endeavors as I would like to be. There are so many developments in this field, new terminology and ways of approaching fundraising that I believe is eluding me and has contributed to me feeling a bit disillusioned.
    I believe that the personal and professional networks I will identify and cultivate during this course will help me to strengthen those areas of my weakness and help me raise capital in the area that I am now branching into which is Venture Capital for my company. I believe that I will get new professional tools I will use to grow my business and help more women enterprises.
    I am most excited to learn the right language as it will increase chances of me raising more funds
