Kariema was a pleasure to work with, producing top-quality work and delivering a satisfactory product cost-effectively.

C Van der Rheede (ECET Annual Report, HCI Foundation)

Kariema’s insights and experience of working in NGOs were very useful, as was her strategic understanding of the funding environment. Kariema provides fundraising services, mentoring and support in such a way that the client organisation develops capacity to manage its own fundraising programme.

M Ainsley, (several fundraising proposals, training, Primary Science Programme)

Kariema joined ELRU for three years as fundraiser, during which time the annual budget moved from R8m to R10m. She demonstrated experience and competence within the complex dynamics in our funding landscape [and] contributed much to public relations through newsletters and events. Kariema was directly involved in raising roughly R4 million.
