Must you benefit something for you to be commited to it?!





And this is why I am glad you are not one of the execs on this network.

Thanks ever so for your valid questions and concern shown.

TeHN is currently made up of 8 individuals (All Nairalanders) who support our work through donations and voluntary self-service. The group was set up to support the less privileged in our nation via various fund campaigns for targeted and specific verified projects.

We do not gain monetarily from donations received. Our only gain in the way of seeing joy on the faces of people we help and being able to alleviate people from poverty is usually realized if and when we are able to successfully deliver all agreed deliverable.

All money received are announced on the thread and aggregated along throughout the campaign process.
All expenditures are usually published on the specific threads as of when needed
Any money left over from specific projects are simply rolled over to the next project.
We keep a spreadsheet of all donations received to date accompanied with project expenses

Regards

I have same sentiments as you do but I don't think it should stop peeps from contributing if they want to. Contribute but the organisers should do an audit of the Charity's funds to the last naira and make it public.

I admire your patience.

Let me try and make this clear.

Feelers from yesterday demonstrates to me that the publicity given this thread is not needed because from my view, it is meant, strictly for 'members of TeHN' and their friends. The opinions and views of outsiders matters very little.

That is not saying the work done by TeHN is not real. Far from it! I believe firmly that real work is done and people's lives are being affected by the generous contributions of nairalanders and the sacrifice put in by members of TeHN.

However, the publicity would have made sense if it was done purely for the fund raiser because as it seems that is the only contribution outsiders are welcome to make.

Someone said members of TeHN should account for the donations given so far for the 3 years ended, before he can contribute further. As much as I do not agree with him totally but this does not nullify his concern. Matter of factly, his concern is very valid.

Given an account of previous fund raisers goes beyond just showing receipts and pictures. These source documents are necessary and I consider them fantastic but proper accounting does not start and end there.

Anyways, all that is me 'knacking my teeth' again. When it is time for the fund raiser proper, let us know.

I have always tried to avoid you and your likes on Nairaland.




I always avoid stupid people, they are contagious.

Allegations of nepotism have to be supported by facts

pickabeau1:

It is important to make statements backed with facts
As is custom with TEHN programs, a suggestion thread with a theme is posted three months to the end of year so as to solicit for ideas
Last year, the theme was on Children

Eventually, three places around the country were chosen and pictures were put on the Christmas thread for verification
Nairalanders who are not in the committee supported that outreach

Allegations of nepotism have to be supported by facts



Can you suggest additional means of getting assurance beyond receipts and pictures




Your support as well as your suggestions will be useful

Names of homes specifically set up to care for the elderly

Gboliwe:
Most if not all Nigerians who can afford to put their aged ones in homes do NOT live below the poverty level.

I think we should pick the option of looking around us and finding one aged who is really in need of a breathe of fresh air.
Like someone mentioned, the north as it is today need a lot of help too. We can also look at helping a family or two up north.

These elderly fall into a group of Nigerians that are never accounted for in our National planning. These homes are charity homes (unlike some abroad that are like hotels for elderly folks funded by their loved ones).. Another group are homes for lepers as well as home for special needs kids.

jaybee3: @Okija

Okijajuju1:
