Victor attended our Comprehensive Resource Mobilisation Programme run in Nairobi in 2018-19.

I attended a comprehensive resource mobilization course in Nairobi that was delivered in a very unique style of practical and workplace-oriented mode. It brought out the reasons why 99% of proposals don’t get a response – because we don’t apply the necessary techniques to captivate donors into giving us money. I was assigned a mentor by the name of Caroline whose passion and interest in my work gave me an impetus to showcase my work for her experience critique and she delivered like a champion and I intend to continue my communication with her.

And now off to deploy the skills we learnt from Bill Bruty and Caroline Makokha.
