We at Mukuru Slums Water & Sanitation Project,Nairobi ,Kenya have had the opportunity to be a beneficially of donor funding from European Union to address the poor water and sanitation conditions in our community in collaboration with local community.

However, since the implementation of
the project, we have been unable to get a sponsor to our project which is currently not operational because of massive insensitivity from the Water supplier who disconnected the water supply to our project due to a debt.

We are now in the dark completely without any option to achieve the project objectives.The project does not have a website where people can have a look at our project mission and vision.Our country does not care less about Nonprofits whether or not affecting community and we have been looking for a well wisher to assist us with even a basic need like a computer .The many organization we have approached only told us that they do not sponsor infrastructure projects.Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you.

Quite true .From start to completion I was instrumental because I served not only the Board but also the manual construction works on the ground .This was because I could not imagine that our poor community could not manage to implement this important project to all age groups and classes of people.

I would really put the Government to consider the plight of the less fortunate people and also to make sure that budget allocation is provided for community initiatives. I would also campaign that local community are trained to enhance their capacity.

I have been interacting with Grassroots.org for a couple of months and the need to put our Nonprofit on the worldwide map was the reason why, by design I fell onto the Grassroots.org website and what a fantastic discovery it was. I realized from the outset that Grassroots.org were in deed a friend and in need to assist other nonprofits especially with good development and maintaining of websites for those nonprofits subscribed with Grassroots.org In fact I do not have an idea of any other organization(s) that is performing the role of designing websites for other organization without an investment .For this we are in deed grateful to Grassroots.org for their role in supporting others even globally.Thank you and keep up the community spirits.

My nonprofit, MUKURU WATER & SANITATION PROJECT helps the community access clean water and decent sanitation services at a very affordable rate. Through my short interaction with the Grassroots.org as a member, I am profoundly renewed and empowered to continue working for the community because I realized that they assist nonprofits to upgrade their programs and at the same time supports businesses to prosper significantly courtesy of their fantastic tools. Recently, I got linked up with a volunteer web designer who is just about to embark on web designing for my nonprofit.To this we are wow and really uphold Grassroots.org for we could not even dream of having a website let alone afford hiring a web designer to put up a website for our nonprofit.We really value and appreciate the interconnection we enjoy being a part of Grassroots.org members.Thanks.

Having a board of directors from all walks of life is difficult - so I found a company called phone.com which could route calls to appropriate people in charge of certain areas - that led me to GrassRoots.org, which we found to be a great help in getting us a discount for the service that we needed so badly.

The only regret is that we were charged full price the second year, after we understood that it would be half price for the second year, and full price the following years. Not sure what happened.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Attending the board meetings for our organization, it was very easy to tell that the GrassRoots / Phone.com relationship was the best choice to make, because there were no more missed calls, or messages. Every call was going to the appropriate person.

Ways to make it better...

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Make sure that it's made clear that if an organization is getting a discount for the second year, that it's spelled out how. We're still a little confused on some of the invoices that we received.

I used to work for Grassroots.org, and I just wanted to say that the staff is extremely kind and one that loves the people they serve. I think the services they offer really do provide many nonprofits a way of reaching out to a client base that they normally could not reach out to. It help makes the world smaller for nonprofits.

Working to fullfill my purpose of good works as an image and likeness of God. Building my faith and helping others build their faith set me on a path of helping those in need with encouragement and soon to be linking those blessed with abundance to mentor and assist the suffering thru the internet with a Holy Place website. grassroots.org,inc. offered assistance to our efforts as the result of prayer and faith that God would send positive encouraging people to help us help others so I believe grassroots.org.inc. is a truly good organization.

Grassroots.org has a lot of great services for nonprofits and the one we needed the most was the free web hosting. Our animal rescue organization wanted and needed a clean, organized and flexible site to showcase our rescues, our programs, and to generate support. Our volunteers have tons of great ideas but we didn't have the technology to implement them. But because of Grassroots.org, we now do and can make those ideas become realities. Additionally, we plan to take advantage of the free graphic design services and possibly the business consulting in the future. We are very grateful for the services provided by Grassroots.org. It is an organization that really touches many things - the environment, people, animals. It gives nonprofits a chance to make a bigger difference in this world than was originally imagined. Grassroots.org is a great nonprofit that creates even greater nonprofits.

I discovered grassroots.org quite by chance. We applied for their services and now are receiving their phone service for free (for a year). The service is much better than the one we had been paying for over 3 years. We also are utilizing their logo design service which has been amazing! So amazing - we can't truly decide. We are close though. We also plan on utilizing the web hosting services too once ours expires.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

Surprisingly many times in signing up for services with others you feel that you are one of thousands, not with them. They have very quick turn around time and are clear and concise in explaining their services and how to utilize them.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Friendly, professional and courteous.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Extend it's reach, increase programs and services and grow to further many more great causes.

Grassroots.org helped our music booster organization set up a website and domain name. It has been awesome! We've been able to keep up communications with all of our parents without it costing valuable fund-raising dollars. Our informational site is appreciated by the many moms & dads who know that sometimes those concert notices and permission slips just don't make it home in the backpack!

They say you never get anything for free, but we certainly have through Grassroots.org. We built our organization website using Doodlekit provided free through Grassroots.org. The website was easy to set up (especially considering our complete lack of experience in this area), and it is easy to maintain. We've had many positive comments about our website! Even better than free website building and hosting, though, is the Social Ventures Consulting Program grant that we just received from Grassroots. This grant will pair us with MBA students who will work with us to complete the financial portions of our business plan. This is the help we desperately need but can not afford to pay for. As a new and small nonprofit, it is invaluable to be able to access the products and services that Grassroots.org provides. We are very grateful!

Grassroots.org has helped our organization to grow by affording us a presence in cyberspace that connects us to other organizations, donors, and members. Through the various developmental tools offered at Grassroots.org, our association have been enhanced, and empowered to service more of the community. Grassroots.org website and tools are user friendly; very easy to navigate. The associates are very friendly, courterous, informative and helpful via the telephone service; in addition, emails are answered in a timely and professional manner.

I had the privilege of being the designer/developer for one of GrassRoots.org's listed organizations, Break the Chain Foundation. Working hand in hand with one of GrassRoots.org's leading members, Laura, I was able to obtain the necessary information needed to begin a solid partnership with Break the Chain Foundation's contact person, Jamie. Although I have been a volunteer member of GrassRoots.org for a few years, this one project was my first and it was truly a great experience. GrassRoots.org is a great organization and they have an amazing philosophy that is carried on by those who play very vital roles in the day-to-day operations of connecting businesses to those non-profit orgs who are in need. I proudly let people know about Grassroots.org every chance I get.
