Fundraising
Silver Linings Trust’s fundraising efforts are aimed at expanding our reach and impact of Special Needs services to the wider Special Needs community in Zimbabwe. Our goal is to have effective donor supported initiatives that will help us to (i) sustain our existing infrastructure, (ii) expand the Trust’s facilities and centres, and (iii) subsidise those who cannot afford the services provided by Silver Linings Trust. We also aim to raise money and donations to meet the ongoing needs of the Centres, as articulated in the Centre specific Wishlists, as well as coordinating Centre based fundraising activities through an annual Activity plan. We strongly believe in a non-negotiable report back mechanism, where we communicate with our donors on feedback regarding how their funds were utilized.
