to make sure that our training and teaching initiatives provide NGOs with fund raising skills,
financial skills and governance skills. Many of our key partnerships and training initiatives are
about equipping the NGO’s so they can be more sustainable, effectively raise funds and use
those funds to derive the maximum possible benefit to society.
Of course, the issue of sustainable funding does then open the doors to NGOs
generating an income?
As a basic principle we don’t fund private companies. But I do think this is a very important
debate that we must have. I think we must decide how we can better involve organisations
that are profit making. My personal belief is that we must be looking at funding projects. The
simple test must be money for good causes. That is the simple test. What is a good cause
and what is not?
The other partnership that you have talked at great length about is with the house
of traditional leaders?
Yes, the traditional leaders have tribal offices and have meetings twice a month in their
kraals. This provides us with an idea opportunity to talk to people in these areas, talk to the
people right there in the places where our help is most needed. We also find that we can
make these traditional leaders custodians of these projects because they are happening
right there, in their areas. But we’re also working with municipalities and local councillors
for exactly the same reason. We’re working in their areas and they are the ones who best
understand what those areas need. They have the credibility in those areas that we need to
make sure our projects deliver the best possible value and, in return, we give them credibility
when we partner with them. So, once again, everyone benefits. But, most importantly, the
people who need our help the most benefit the most. It’s all about what is happening at the
local level and these partnerships provide us with those all-important local points of entry.
