Additional Information
We work with key partners both in Bristol and in Beira making it more sustainable for the charity to operate.
Our operations model is based on collaborative working and makes us a lean organisation. Our main partner in Beira is our in country deliver partner Adel Sofala. They help deliver, resource and evaluate our programmes on the ground. Our other parters are also Mission Educate, the Mayor of Beira and the British High Commission.
Our work is more important than ever as of March 14th when the biggest Cyclone to hit Africa destroyed 90% of the city. All our Beira schools sustained huge amounts of damaged and the communities we have been supporting for 30 years were some of the worst effected.
We need help with our branding and and channels of communication such as social media . Currently we don't have the skills internally or the resources to externally appoint someone or an agency. This will help us grow and increase the work we do in Beira.
