2. “When you live in a poor neighborhood, you are living in an area
where you have poor schools. When you have poor schools, you have
poor teachers. When you have poor teachers, you get a poor
education. When you get a poor education, you can only work in a
poor-paying job. And that poor-paying job enables you to live again in
a poor neighborhood. So, it's a very vicious cycle.”
Malcolm X.

Attributes of an Effective NGO
10. • Speak in the company’s interest - Spend time to tell them
how your NGO can help them achieve their objective
• Be creative - Give your donors something back, example
organize networking events for the funders to interact
• Build networks within the company - People may leave,
change positions, make sure you know a few key people
• Keep trying: So if you do not succeed the first time round,
stay in touch and ask again later.
