The first step of LetUsHelpNow’s monthly project’s life cycle is Need Assessment. Care homes directly or through other organizations reach out to us about their urgent needs. Further, we have information about their needs through our data collection. LetUsHelpNow assesses the needs and the reasons for the requests. We determine the funding required as well as how the project can be delivered. The assessment includes direct communication with homes, input from local regulatory agencies, and input from our advisors and donors. Factors such as the number of beneficiaries, the urgency of the request, fit with our focus and capacities, are considered for deciding upon a project.

Fundraising The project description and details of the homes are shared with our small group of monthly donors. The small donations are collected by country co-ordinators.

LetUsHelpNow requests minimum two quotations from the care homes. Further, it seeks out other input regarding selecting the supplier. The funds are directly sent to the homes bank accounts. Homes make the purchases and provide receipts, thank you letters and pictures. In some cases, LetUsHelpNow volunteers assist with the purchase and delivery of the materials. Further, volunteers go to the homes to verify the delivery of the material

For each project, the homes provide request letters, quotations , the receipt for the donation, the receipts for the materials, the pictures of the materials and a thank you letter listing the materials. Further, donation and transaction details are documented. These are collected and published online at our website as well as other communication channels such as WhatsApp and Facebook.
