Leseding strives to ensure most of the donor funding goes to the beneficiaries and participants as can be witnessed from the allocation of expenditure. However, in order for any organisation to run effectively it needs to have strong administrative skills and financial controls. Therefore we urge donors to provide for administration costs with their donation, so that we can properly run an effective organisation that is accountable and transparent about what is does.

This presupposes a greater involvement by the donor

• A Capital sum for set up and/or operating costs for the specific programme, or programmes in a specific category of beneficiary or participants. For example, a donor could choose to HBC training programme for farming community in Makwasi Hills community, for the next 3 – 5 yrs. The annual costs of each programme can be done to suit any community or number of beneficiaries.

Virtually anything you have surplus to your needs could be used by Leseding. Also donating items at a time when they are most needed e.g. stationery and school uniforms at the start of a school year, blankets and jerseys in winter, Easter eggs, Christmas Hampers etc.  Needs vary from urns and stoves to toys and clothes, shelves, carpets, mats for the children to sleep on, furniture etc – the lists are always endless. All you need to do is contact us and we can arrange to collect or you could deliver to our site office in Dertig along Makapanstad road. 

We recognise that in order for our beneficiaries and participants to be successfully exited from depending on Leseding, and be sustainable they have to become independent. In order to do so a regular source of funding is needed. Thus if you can assist us with a concept or a project that the beneficiaries can embark on to generate income for themselves, we would like to know about it. We currently have projects in vegetable gardening and poultry farming. 

Many of our beneficiaries and participants homes in poor and rural areas are very poor and inhabitable.   There is therefore an ongoing need to find and employ volunteers who can paint, pave, repair, connect or build something at any one of our beneficiaries’ homes. The need to maintain the humane conditions of homes where beneficiaries live so that there is a feeling of pride in the place where everyone gathers is important.  So volunteers are encouraged to partner with us for this huge challenge, to share skills and to share experiences of team work.  Skills transfer is also an important part of our thinking and we seek individuals who can teach others ‘DIY’ in the community.
