Partners

Our local partners are small grassroot non-governmental organisations (NGOs) undertaking important work to alleviate poverty and inequality within their communities; micro-finance projects, local enterprise initiatives, rural cooperatives, street child centres, conservation projects, vocational training colleges and community schools.
 
We are happy to support organisations with all levels of financial management and planning expertise; from those with no accounting processes, budgets or financial plans to more established organisations with full time accounting staff and recognisable accounting software. However we only seek partners who are committed to their own development, which can provide the organisational structure and resources needed for our volunteer’s support to be effective and sustainable.
 
Our volunteers will provide impartial, non-judgemental and, in some cases, confidential coaching, focussed on either the needs and ambitions of individuals or the organisation as a whole. We are happy to take direction, as this will always be a collaborative process based on the best interests of local people, with open and honest feedback from all parties an essential feature.

 
All our partners are registered with their local government and many work in partnership with established members of BOND (British Overseas NGO for Development), the UK membership body for for UK-based NGOs working in international development.
