This year’s VLC Staff Gathering centered around the theme of “Activating Change” – what change do we commit to activating? How? And most importantly, why? VLC's Founder and Co-Principal of Research and Practice, Aila Malik shares what activating change means for our social sector.   In a world where change is the only constant, our communities can be weary of change. But as practitioners, we know change is necessary in order to solve the most important crises our communities are facing. When we approach change with intentionality and care, it can be a game changer for our communities and have a lasting impact.    Our Collective is committed to activating intentional change for the social sector – will you join us? How will you activate policy change and improved outcomes for the communities you serve? #VLC #ventureleader #impact #activatechange #nonprofit #policychange #outcomes #community #socialsector

🌍✨ Embracing a Culture of Giving: The Impact of Donation in Developing and Emerging Economies ✨🌍 In today’s interconnected world, the culture of donating to charity plays a pivotal role in the growth and development of both individuals and nations. For developing and emerging economies, fostering a strong philanthropic spirit not only aids in addressing immediate social challenges but also contributes to long-term sustainable growth. Here's why enriching the culture of giving is essential for a nation's development: 1️⃣ Empowerment through Support: Donations can provide critical resources for education, healthcare, and infrastructure, directly uplifting communities and empowering individuals to realize their full potential. 2️⃣ Strengthening Social Bonds: A culture of giving fosters a sense of community and solidarity, where individuals come together to support each other. This unity can drive collective progress and social stability. 3️⃣ Attracting Investments: Countries with a robust culture of philanthropy often see increased interest from international investors and organizations. A commitment to social responsibility can enhance a nation's reputation and attract funding and partnerships. 4️⃣ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):Supporting charitable causes aligns with the global agenda for sustainable development, helping to address key issues such as poverty, inequality, and education, paving the way for a brighter future. As we champion the values of compassion and generosity, let's recognize the power of giving to transform lives and communities. Together, we can build a more equitable and prosperous world.

The role of non-profit organizations has expanded significantly over the years, with many actors driving transformational change across various sectors. In our conversation with Steve Kariithi, our 12th ever guest on #DDWithMaqC & CEO of Dignitas Project, he discussed the responsibility of non-profits to create positive change in the communities they serve while also acknowledging that development work doesn't always lead to positive outcomes, and therefore there is a need for reflection and accountability in the sector. Some key highlights 💡 #Communityconsultation ensures that programs align with local priorities, making them more relevant and impactful. 💡 Faith-based organizations adapt to #communityneeds, using their strong local connections to create effective, tailored programs. 💡 Shifting from a #needsbased to an #assetbased approach emphasizes community strengths, positioning them as co-creators in development. 💡 #Sustainability relies on building #localcapacity from the start, empowering communities to sustain initiatives beyond the organization's presence. These and other such insights will be featured in The Lives, Times, & Chapters of Luminaries Making Good Happen in Africa, a book featuring reflections from Leaders and Practitioners in the Development and Social Impact Ecosystem launching on the 26th of Sept 2024.

Impact looks different for everyone. Don't glorify one or underestimate another. ❤️ Serving food at a soup kitchen, ❤️ Working with Doctors Without Borders ❤️ Volunteering for causes you care about ❤️ Donating to support causes you care about. ❤️ Using your skills at hackathons to help non-profits. It can also look like ➡️ Ensuring your products are inclusive. ➡️ Mentoring others who are struggling at work. ➡️ Bringing joy to those around you and reducing their stress. ➡️ Maintaining 100% availability so small businesses are paid on time. ➡️ Building impactful products, like Tala, Embrace Global ➡️ Starting an investment fund supporting massive impact like what Christian Idiodi just did to have an impact on Africa's Innovation. 💡 It all starts by asking how we can do better for others with our time, money, and skills. How do you think you could make an impact? Share your story! #impact #inclusion #socialimpact

Our perspective has been greatly shaped by the curiosity our partners bring to their work. This curiosity drives us to explore why things happen, the landscape of our work, the interconnectedness of actors, their interactions, and incentives. For us, this journey has helped us appreciate the broader systemic context. Gautam John, CEO of Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies, talks about the need to design solutions that are scalable, systemic, and involve the community.

Think charity work is just about handouts? Let me set the record straight. When many people think of NGOs or philanthropy, the first thing that comes to mind is charity as a one-way street—giving temporary aid with no long-term impact. But that couldn't be further from the truth. At Mercy Hands, we’re not just about handing out resources; we’re about fostering sustainable change. Here’s the difference: instead of creating dependency, we focus on empowering communities to build brighter futures for themselves. Whether it's providing education, skills training, or tools for economic independence, our approach is rooted in collaboration and long-term impact. It’s about giving people the means to thrive, not just survive. The truth is, meaningful philanthropy is about partnership, not pity. It’s about amplifying local strengths, addressing systemic challenges, and creating solutions that last. What’s a common misconception you’ve heard about NGOs?
