MamboViewPoint is owned by social entrepreneurs Marion Neidt and Herman Erdtsieck. They travelled through many continents, cooperated with various development agencies and saw very many development projects. In the end they felt unhappy with the often very poor or even counterproductive results of many aid projects and all the money that went to expensive overhead, offices and 4x4 cars.
Like in all places around the world, in Mambo and the surrounding villages there are many children who want to study after their primary school. However there is a difference... Some are not able to go to the secondary school because their parents can't afford to pay it. Some bright kids can't study on the university because they can't afford it. MamboViewPoint tries to connect young and bright students with sponsors from abroad.
The Kids are selected on forehand.
MamboViewPoint controls if the money really is spent for the study and if the results are good.
School fees will be paid direct to the schools MamboViewPoint will take care for a regular report.
MamboViewPoint reports the progress to the donors.
Sponsoring possible on individual base with knowledge of all parties or anonymous.
Donors can have direct contact with the pupils and even visit them. In case of problems MamboViewPoint will assist to clear them.
