I am excited about what the new year will bring for Kabissa and for all the dedicated and idealistic people in our network connecting people and organizations for Africa.
Thank you everyone who has contributed to help cover Kabissa's core costs in 2011. We need $20,000 annually to maintain Kabissa the organization and online platform, and as of today have confirmed receipt of nearly $15,000. $5,370 of this came via Global Giving - you guys are superstars and we really appreciate the support.
We anticipate receiving the rest by June in matching grants from the World Bank Community Connections Fund and the Aid for Africa Foundation, so are going to close this project on Global Giving.
We will now turn our attention to raising funds for specific projects to develop the Kabissa online platform, which we hope to fund on a project basis and carry out in collaboration with partners. Our top three priority projects and their estimated cost are listed below, which we will be requesting input on from the Kabissa community and posting to Global Giving in the coming weeks.
If you are interested in helping out on one of these projects or have suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact us!
