Twende Social Innovation Center’s Post

[#PressPlay] - I recently listened to an episode of the "Conversations on African Philanthropy" #Podcast by Centre on African Philanthropy and Social Investment - CAPSI featuring Catherine Mwendwa and Bhekinkosi Moyo Catherine provided profound insights into GivingTuesday, portraying it not only as a global movement but also as an institution driving significant change, explaining how GivingTuesday goes beyond the conventional concept of giving, embracing voice, time, and more to enrich the spirit of generosity. It was enlightening to hear her shed light into the unbranded, distributed yet structured approach across #Africa, with country leaders in 20 nations driving the mission forward. The episode also highlighted the critical roles of research, advocacy, and policy influence in bolstering philanthropic efforts. How that platforms like the East Africa Philanthropy Network are essential, fostering collaboration and deepening our understanding of the sector. 🔊 For anyone interested in the current state of #philanthropy in Africa, the influence of movements like Giving Tuesday, and the future of generosity, I highly recommend listening to this episode. It's a reminder that we all have a part to play in shaping a more generous world. https://lnkd.in/d24gEE_V Eme Iniekung Lizza Marie Kawooya Elizabeth (Liz) Ngonzi, CFRE Charles Kojo Vandyck Folakemi Adesina Santigie Bayo Dumbuya Charles Sineta Mwenya Chitambala Sne Vilakazi Halima Mahomed Loui Mainga #Philanthropy #GivingTuesday #GivingTuesdayAfrica #AfricanGenerosity #AfricanPhilanthropy #SocialChange #Generosity #CAPSI #Development #CommunityImpact

🌎 At CHOICE Humanitarian, we invite the full participation of all people—especially women, youth, and local leaders—to address poverty and inequality. In Bolivia, the COVID-19 pandemic cast a heavy shadow over the lives of countless children, and the struggles they faced were overwhelming. Among these challenges was a lack of technological resources within the education sector, particularly for schoolgirls. Melania and Lusmila, sisters aged 12 and 8, showcased their indomitable spirit by participating in a CHOICE-organized science fair where they dared to dream big. Melania and her sister wanted to experiment with building a mini water pump for their community, but they lacked the necessary materials. With support from CHOICE, they obtained materials as well as mentoring from teachers, which allowed them to learn robotics and develop valuable skills in a technology-driven world.

<<Next on DevX>> Super excited to share the next episode of DevX! In this episode, we have a super insightful conversation with Natasha Joshi who is part of the leadership team at Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies. RNP is a funder who I had been intrigued about for a long long time. As an ‘unrestricted’ funder, I was always very curious about how they go about their philanthropic activities. NGOs almost always undergo a lot of difficulty meeting their ‘core costs’ to build internal capabilities and systems. And understanding amazing funders like RNP can go such a long way in solving for this! 💙 Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies works in the following key areas 🎯 : -         Active Citizenship (Collective action to ensure better delivery of public services through citizen participation) -         Access to Justice (Building legal systems that are fair, empathetic, equitable and speedy) -         Gender Equity (Work that transforms attitudes and behaviours and unequal gender dynamics) -         Climate, Conservation & Environment (Fighting the impact of climate change through interventions that help communities adapt sustainably) -         Mental Health (Facilitating research to advance the understanding of mental health + direct therapy & relief interventions) If you work in any of these areas, it would definitely be worth your while (and your organization’s), to listen to what they look for in NGOs when they fund. They support over 100 NGOs and last year alone, provided philanthropic funding of over 300 Crores to their NGOs and also large institutions like IIT & NIMHANS. 🙌 But what blew me away is their approach to funding. RNP is truly a class apart in this regard and their funding thesis is what I would describe as an *Ecosystem Building* approach through which they not only see how they can help their grantees, but how their grantees can in turn be part of building the larger ecosystem within which they operate. If you’re doing great work in any of these areas, happy watching/listening! #socialimpact #philanthropy #ngo #csr #HumansOfSocialImpact P.S: Please Like/Comment/Repost if you find this helpful!

Each and every day I move closer to achieving my dream. A dream of creating a better and a conducive environment for every African child! I'm happy to share that in the next few months some vulnerable youths from all walks of life may start smiling! We are in the process of building a new organization; Global Agency for community Acceleration (GACA). The non profit organization will work towards engaging, empowering and uplifting youths as per the organization's scope of work. After successfully registering the organization, We proceed to hire Executive and Non-Executive directors from across the Globe. Trying to connect and touch base with like minded philanthropists, donors, persons, groups and organizations to see that everything goes well. Our happiness is to create a Global community center. The social impact entrepreneurs, the climate and environmental experts and organizations, community outreach philanthropy and organizations, Donors and partnerships are very key and crucial in this conversation. I urge any interested individuals and organizations to reach out for more details. My hope and Desire is that we will join hands in order to support this impactful course.
