Welcome dear friends!
After our recent hugely successful visit to both Pakati schools and the 3 others in Ward 14 of Murewa, the question now is, what do we as Friends of Pakati do next?
Great to meet the Head of Pakati Secondary school, Mr Chifaka, once again after 3 long years!
We recently posted about some of the things we could do seen here on our facebook page:
The above sets out what we would like to try & do, but not all of it is possible without a huge amount of effort & fundraising…which will be very difficult in the near future as the soaring cost of living worldwide limits what individuals & companies are willing or able to donate to charitable causes.
So that begs the next question – what can we do to maximise our fundraising?
Well, following our recent Consultancy Project with MBA students from the University of Huddersfield’s Business School, there are some good ideas to.help us try to attract more website visitors, social media folliwers, and ultimately, donors.
One of the key suggestions is a re-design of the website itself – friendsofpakati.com – definitely something I intend to look at very soon!
There will.be some changes & developments in our social medis presence, but also in areas such as fundraising & our merchandise.
So, the next question is – as a follower, donor, supporter – what do YOU think? Then a number of follow-up questions arise – What do YOU see as what our priorities should be? What do YOU want us to do to fundraise? How do YOU think we can improve our online presence?
Addressing the most important people for us – the students of Pakati schools
