Help I Matter NPO by donating 4 Laptops for record keeping and operational requirements
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
At our gender-based violence (GBV) support NPO, we provide critical, life-changing services to vulnerable women and children who have experienced abuse. Our work spans counseling, advocacy, training, and community outreach, often in under-resourced and high-risk areas. To do this work effectively, we urgently need four functional laptops—and here’s why: 1. Enhancing Direct Support to Survivors Our support staff and caseworkers need reliable laptops to: Maintain confidential digital case files securely. Conduct virtual counseling sessions for survivors in rural or remote areas. Provide crisis intervention support in real-time through email and secure messaging apps. A laptop is not just a tool—it’s a gateway to consistent, connected, and confidential care. 2. Improving Training and Education We train volunteers, caregivers, educators, and community workers on how to: Identify signs of abuse. Respond appropriately and legally. Offer trauma-informed support. Having laptops will allow us to: Facilitate hybrid/online workshops, reaching more people than face-to-face training alone. Create, store, and present training materials efficiently. Conduct webinars and awareness campaigns, amplifying our impact. 3. Strengthening Our Operations Like any organization, we rely on technology for: Reporting to donors and stakeholders. Applying for grants and managing compliance (we’re already registered with SARS and have annual reports up to date). Coordinating with other NGOs
