Get Involved
If you share our vision and want to contribute to our cause, there is room for everyone at PENDA! If you represent a legal entity and want to contribute to PENDA, you can do so in one of the following ways:
- Donations: The external donations gathered from companies comprise the largest part of our funds. These funds are allocated to scholarships for student applicants.
- Student Jobs: If you have positions that can be filled by students, we can help you fill them by matching the backgrounds of student applicants with the requirements of your job offer.
For Individuals
As an individual, you can contribute in one of the following ways:
- Donations: As a non-governmental organization, the largest portion of our funds comes from external donations. These funds are allocated as scholarships to student applicants. If you want to contribute to our cause, please donate.
- Membership: The main driving force behind PENDA are its active members. Joining PENDA as a member requires a symbolic membership donation of €100 per year. The funds gathered from the membership donations are allocated to student applicants in the form of scholarships, whereas a small portion of the funds is spent on the operational costs of the organization.
- Advocates & Volunteers: Aside from financial contributions, PENDA relies on a strong network of people. To grow this network and strengthen its links we need to spread the word and attract more attention, thereby inviting more people to join our ranks and support our cause. Additionally, if you think you have skills that can help with the day-to-day operations of the organization feel free to contact us.
- Mentoring: Whether you are a PENDA member or not, you can sign up to our mentoring program. Via the mentoring program, if the intended course of studies of a student applicant matches your background, you can guide the student on their educational path. This guidance includes helpful suggestions and discussions, and support with finding a suitable university, study program, and/or scholarship.
If none of the roles mentioned above fits you, and you have other ideas on how to contribute, feel free to get in touch with us at contact@penda.org.mk.
