How do you go about the money in case someone sends it to the organization?
First of all, we prefer money being sent on the organization’s bank account.
Whenever money is sent, we base on our work plan and the budget for the activities to be carried out. In case money is sent to accomplish a specific task, that money will be directly used for that very activity.
The accounting and budget committee under the guidance of the organization chief financial officer with the supervision of the CEO, will sit to see to it that money is spent as required.
Follow-up and continuous updates shall be done and reports, including receipts shall be sent to whoever sends the money to the organization after the completion of a particular activity with monitoring and evaluation reports.

ADVOCACY
Frequently, the bible has talked about advocacy for vulnerable. For example in the book of I John 3:16-18 and James 1: 27 respectively say; I John 3:16-18 says; By this we know love, that He laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? 18 Little children, let’s not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. James 1:27 says Religion that is pure and undefiled before the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world. You can decide to advocate in the following ways;
