How have we helped?
In 2011, $14,292 was raised by 21st Century Leaders, from the sale of Whatever It Takes products. With this donation 21st Century Leaders helped Trade plus Aid South Africa to pay its office overheads at a time when cash flows from the biogas programmes meant that funds were needed for covering office overheads.
Grants paid out by 3rd parties
In March 2008, 21st Century Leaders started setting up and coordinating the road show, through which Matthew Hayden, CEO of Trade plus Aid South Africa found the financing and funding to start the Trade plus Aid biogas programmes. Funding with this third party was contractually agreed by February 2009. The roadshow raised the seed investment of €320,000 to initiate this green fields project.
In 2011, Tim Blakemore kindly donated £216.82 to Trade plus Aid South Africa on a fundraising platform introduced by Trade plus Aid UK.
21st Century Leaders also donated its allocation for pro-bono from top London leading law firm
Hogan Lovells to Trade plus Aid South Africa to ensure it had adequate environment law support to write its first ERPA contract. Hogan Lovells subsequently donated over £105,000 in pro bono legal support from its environmental law specialist team.
About Trade plus Aid South Africa
Charlotte di Vita founded Trade plus Aid in 1990 to alleviate poverty in developing countries by means of job creation, capacity building, and skills development through entrepreneurial innovation.
Trade plus Aid Africa South Africa instigated innovative carbon livelihood programmes under the leadership of Matthew Hayden which brought income to rural communities and help reduce carbon emissions to alleviate global warming.
The primary environmental programme rolled-out bio-digesters in rural areas of Southern Africa, providing a simple to operate, sustainable alternative energy source with a low carbon footprint. This technology saves money, helps prevent deforestation, improves health and hygiene, and decreases pollution of local water sources whilst generating self-sufficient and sustainable income for social development programmes.
