How We Flap helps Individuals

We Flap provides an online community for individuals to easily connect with and learn about Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) working on issues or in locations that are important to them.

Individuals can then build networks with friends and other individuals who share their drive and passion, to exchange ideas and collectively interact with the NGOs.

Through continued interaction with NGOs, individuals can become comfortable about the work and commitment of the NGOs, understand their needs, and help them in whatever capacity they can.

Register with We Flap:
  • Visit the We Flap website and fill out your profile.
  • Tell us about yourself –
    • What areas of development are you interested in?
    • Which places in the world do you care about?
    • What kinds of NGOs do you want to learn about?
    • How do you want to help the NGOs – Do you just want to learn about them? Do you want to visit them and volunteer? Do you want to donate money? Do you want to provide the NGOs with professional expertise in your free time?
  • We will automatically make you "friends" with NGOs that meet your interests and now you can begin to learn about them.
Learn:
  • Once you have become "friends" with your favorite NGOs, visit their We Flap profile pages and learn about them.
  • We will provide you with regular notifications when your NGOs have new information, photos, videos, projects, etc. This will allow you to constantly expand your knowledge about your NGOs.
  • We will continually inform you when there are new NGOs on We Flap that meet your interests so that you are constantly learning about new NGOs.
  • We will tell you when NGOs advertise new projects and needs, so that you can understand the work that they are doing and the help they need.
  • Invite your friends to be part of We Flap, so that they can share your experiences. We Flap will also tell you which NGOs your friends are interested in, so that you can learn about the organizations they are supporting.


Interact:
  • As you learn about your NGOs and the work they are doing, We Flap will provide you with tools to interact with the NGOs.
  • Support the NGOs, provide them with feedback, ask them questions and encourage them. If an NGO does not have online access, We Flap will get the answers from the NGOs for you.
  • Add your own photos, videos and other content about the city, village or area of development that the NGOs work in, so that your friends and other supporters of the NGOs can learn about the context and environment that they work in.
  • Interact with other people that are friends with your NGOs, and get feedback from them about the NGOs and the work they are doing.
  • Find out the different ways in which you can help your NGOs.
Help:
  • Once you feel comfortable about the work your NGOs are doing, ask yourself how you can help your NGOs -
    • Provide Professional Expertise: Helping NGOs with your professional expertise, can sometimes only take a few minutes or hours of your time. This small effort can be of significant use to the NGOs. For example –
      • If you’re a writer, you can help your NGO write a grant proposal.
      • If you have multi-media skills, you can help NGOs create an advertisement.
      • If you’re an accountant, you can help your NGO fill out a tax form.
      • If you’re a medical professional, you can advise your NGOs on health services training material.
    • Make Donations: Some of you may be interested in donating money or other goods to your NGOs. These contributions go a long way in helping NGOs realize their goals and assist their communities with the work they are undertaking.
    • Volunteer your time: NGOs are constantly on the lookout for people that can work with them to further their development projects. Volunteering your time will provide you with a first-hand account of the issues that your NGOs are trying to address and the manner in which they conduct their work.
    • Build a brand for the NGOs: Talk about your NGOs to your friends and help in getting their name out. This is a very important service. The more people know about the NGOs, the more help your NGOs will receive.
