GET INVOLVED

GETTING INVOLVED

This project is about a vision we have for South Africa. It is a big vision. Without support it will only stay a vision. We are dedicated and feel qualified to turn our plans into reality.

We need pretty much every hand, every brain and every $$$ that we can get. But it is not a one way street. You will receive a little more in return for your help than just a little thank-you-letter.

We offer you the opportunity to really become a part of this project.

Many programs define themselves by the amount of money they raise. It is the grease for every program and easy to communicate.

But our bottom line are the people of South Africa. Helping them will be the benchmark we hold ourselves against.

ARE WE NUTS?

Is it really worth the effort to try change things?

Do we even know what we are talking about?

Aren’t you trying to do too much at the same time?

We feel that this country has suffered some big setbacks but that this young, changing and dynamic society also has great potential and might well surpise all its skeptics. Who would want to sit this one out?

Future will tell…

INDIVIDUAL SUPPORTERS

Ways to be involved:

1. JOIN US ON FACEBOOK

This way we can keep you informed about our progress. Here is the link to our group.

2. DONATE

We’ll soon have a non-profit foundation established and your donations will be tax deductible.

3. FEEDBACK

Please let us know how we are doing

4. JOIN OUR ADVISORY PANELS

We are looking for experts to join our two separate expert panels:

Marketing & Finance Team
This group is for social media gurus and other marketing experts. The group will develop fund raising strategies, and concepts to increase the overall awareness of South Africa Project.

We will also need some financial experts that can help with the micro lending program.

Program Development Team
This team will the ideas work on the actual programs that will be implemented. We are looking for seasoned therapists, counselors, educators and other individuals with a strong background in non-profit work. Depending on your desired level of involvement you could end up doing some of the actual work in South Africa.

Please contact us if you are interested in any of the above.

CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP

Helping our clients to get in front of their target audiences is our daytime business. We feel that social marketing is one of the best ways for any company to gain personality and send a positive message to the market place.

TAILORED INDIVIDUAL SOLUTIONS FOR YOU

A polished glossy ad might look good but won’t reach people on a deeper emotional level. Being associated with South Africa Project will provide a long-term opportunity for sponsors to position themselves as someone that cares.

You can decide how actively you’d like to be involved. We will work on an individual strategy that will work for you.
Here are some quick examples on what we could do:

SPONSORING WEB VIDEOS FOR A CAUSE

Our web video production platform moviebakery can create quality videos at very low cost. A video generating awareness or reporting progress could be associated with your name.

BECOMING A PROGRAM TITLE SPONSOR

Your name could be associated with the activities of one of the successful local groups we are reaching out to. In many cases these programs lack funding but the infrastructure is already there. Here is some more information about our areas of focus. These programs will be followed world wide. If we show progress, i.e. in training young boys to become ethically responsible men, your name will be tied into giving hope and providing safety to the next generation in South Africa.

We are looking at the bigger picture here. We are aiming to grow this into a larger movement with strong momentum. How about owning a piece of the action from the beginning?

BLOGGING & USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA

It is our intension to invite others to guest blog in this platform. We’d like to hear different opinions and hope that the discussion will help to make the South Africa Project more successful.

If you already have a related blog or belong to the armada of social media experts and are interested in this project then please get in touch with us. We will need every bit of support we can get. It is impossible for our team to do this all alone.
