"Afrika možemo zajedno" is a project that Dejan Nemčić started a couple of years ago. There are a lot of charities that help African countries and Aid for Africa is one of the biggest. Listen to a radio programme about the organisation. Complete the sentences with the numbers in the box.
Aid for Africa is an alliance of charity nonprofit organizations working on the ground in sub-Saharan Africa to make a difference to the lives of children, families and communities.
In January 2004, its first year of operation, Aid for Africa brought together nineteen charity organizations to be part of the alliance. Over the last fifteen years Aid for Africa membership has included more than eighty members. Today we support fifty nonprofit organizations that are working on the ground with African partners throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Formed from a concern and idea, the alliance is now a reality. As already mentioned, we are a 501 nonprofit organization and our members pay no member fee, no application fees, service charges or membership dues and we are committed to maintaining low management and fundraising costs.
In the 2015/2016 fiscal year, 89.8% of its revenue supported programme activities and during the last three years, just 8.8% of Aid for Africa's total revenue was used for administrative and fundraising expenses. We are very proud of Africa Classroom Connection which builds and improves schools in South Africa and Malawi serving children aged 5 to 21, 40% of whom are AIDS orphans.
The organization’s model engages the local community which raises 5% - about $500 of the overall cost of each classroom. The remaining 95%, or $10,000 per classroom, is paid through partner organizations like ACC. Each classroom serves 45 children, year after year. ACC's board of directors covers all administrative expenses, which ensures that 100% of donations support our work in Africa, allowing us to help the maximum number of students possible.
