Our Projects for the spring

Company Introduction

Cuida d'bo is a dedicated non-governmental organization committed to ensuring that every woman in Cabo Verde has access to essential healthcare and health education.

Project Overview

Cuida d’bo is looking to develop a sustainable and diversified fundraising strategy to support its mission of improving women’s healthcare in Cabo Verde. Due to its limited financial history (only two years of records), the organization faces difficulties in securing traditional funding sources such as large grants and corporate sponsorships.

This project will focus on optimizing both traditional and alternative fundraising methods to ensure Cuida d’bo can access financial resources despite these challenges. The strategy will include grants, corporate sponsorships, donor engagement, events, crowdfunding, and social enterprise initiatives. The goal is to create a structured fundraising plan that supports both short-term needs and long-term financial sustainability.

Company Introduction

​The Circle of Young Humanitarians (CYH) is a Swiss-based organization dedicated to engaging youth in discussions and actions related to armed conflicts and humanitarian emergencies. Founded by three students and young professionals in Zurich, CYH seeks to bridge the gap between the humanitarian sector and the next generation by fostering an open dialogue on global humanitarian challenges. ​

CYH has been tracking financial data manually, leading to a lack of visibility over revenue, expenses, and cash flow projections. This has created challenges in making strategic decisions, such as hiring, project expansion, and efficient fund allocation.
