RAM CHARITY PROJECTS
HISTORY • BRIEF HISTORY • RESOURCES BEFORE NPO REGISTRATION • NPO FUNDRAISING AFTER REGISTRATION • WHAT DIFFERENCES CAN WE MAKE - THESE ARE BUT A FEW • OTHER STUFF • PICTURES
BRIEF HISTORY • While recovering from an operation, I decided to see what Montagu had to offer. • I came across a garden project where they were selling a carrot or two. • I then discovered they were supplying Rural Folk with plants for home gardening. • Excess veggies were bought back from Rural Folk, which then became their meat money. The buy back became cut up vegetables for the local restaurants. • Startup funding came from the Rotary Club. • What we saw :: …………….. The garden and harvest crews and the prepping folk were in need of clothing.
RESOURCES • Get your friends and family involved • Hirsch’s – Loyalty Points • e-Bucks • Buy-Aid Bonus • Gumtree – Charity • Hotels – Teas, Coffees, Shampoos • Local Fish Shop • Dairies – Returned Yoghurts, etc • Bakeries – Stale bread • Local Hospitals – ask for written off linen • Look at our Logo!
• All of the previous pages …… PLUS ….. • Subscribe to Brownie Points, ForGood, GivenGain, etc • Approach Wineries for discounts on orders • Approach companies to do raffles • Tins at shops • Own Raffles – approach companies for prizes • If doing a children’s function, approach KFC for meals • Printer place, ask for the old banner stands • Radio interviews • Rooibos Tea - Clanwilliam. A simple request got us 9000 teabags • Catering at Festivals and Fun, Open and Sports Days (You need a Certificate for food preparations) • SAL’s Shoes • Think Outside the Box – Recipe Book (RAM IS OUR LAMB) • Concerts – ask if the organizers will allow a blanket drop off from ticket holders • Builders – get discarded light fittings, cupboards etc for home projects.
WHAT DIFFERENCES WE CAN MAKE THESE ARE BUT A FEW …. • Caravan Park, Vredenburg - Due to an elderly couple living in a small cement storage with no more than a single bed, we bought them a Wendy House , supplied a double bed, fridge, etc so that they were more comfortable, given the old lady is wheelchair bound. • Talana Farm School, Montagu - We supplied a Double Door Display Fridge • Busses sent to Montagu to bring this school to Cape Town and they returned home each with a pair of school shoes. • Ashbury Primary, Montagu – Over 1000 children with no library. We managed to set up a library for them. • Entrepreneurial classes for mentally challenged children. Children too old for school we set up a sewing machine for the girls and electrical woodwork equipment for the boys. • Mentally challenged younger children got a TV and DVD • Lingelihle Old Age Home, Zolani, Ashton – They became non-compliant due to rule changes over a period of time. • We supplied 27 hospital curtain tracks plus curtains for partitioning plus relocated their sluice system. • Due to electrical cable thefts, we supplied an industrial gas cooker. • Vredenburg - We set up a Matric Farewell Clothing Bank for underprivileged children • Bram Care Centre , Ashton - We bought them a Fridge / Freezer as well as medical equipment. An Urn and Outside Security Lights.
OTHER STUFF • May years ago we had a year end function for 1000 people. Our main target being people with substance addictions and poverty. • A year later we had a Christmas function bringing three Old Age Homes from Montagu and Ashton, with different cultures together. • A year later was a Shoebox Christmas function for Talana School & now every year with the school adopted by a company.
