Where do we get our resources?

Our own Members

Our own members are the primary resource in the following ways:
a) Through membership subscription fee quite a substantial amount is raised;
b) Some volunteer to do some activities without pay;
c) Some members contribute cash for our activities.

Internal Sources

We get resourced also from internal sources which we have categorized as follows:

a) Internal friends whose contribution is threefold–Spiritual support; Moral support; and Financial support.

b) Internal corporate bodies' contribution is twofold namely: Moral support, and Financial support - the majority of the corporate bodies are glad to work with us since they consider themselves as key stakeholders of environmental sustainability.

c) County governments, National governments, Governmental environmental agencies, and other relevant ministries like Agriculture, Water, and Irrigation, Devolution, Mining, Tourism, Fisheries, etc. give us both Moral support and Financial support. This is because ours is a multiform and multi-disciplinary endeavor that is meant to complement the efforts put in by both levels of governments.

External Sources

Externally we get resourced equally from:
a) External friends who just like internal friends contribute in three ways namely through Spiritual support; Moral support; and Financial support. Both internal friends and external friends have been narrowed down into one department called” Friends of ACO Foundation" with a full-time head of department and supporting team.
b) Organizations and Corporate bodies from outside Africa equally give us both Moral support and Financial support in the spirit of feeling as part and parcel of key stakeholders in the process of environmental sustainability.
c) In the same spirit Governments, and Government environmental institutions outside Africa give us both Moral and Financial support for our activities. This is in the realization that environmental sustainability can not be localized, both the positive and negative effects cut across the entire globe. The unifying element whenever the negative side effects affect the poorest and most vulnerable in society regardless of which part of the globe suffers most.
