Building the Systems That Make an Organisation Last

When WAG first applied to Mama Cash in 2020, it had no financial system, no organisational audit, and no strategic plan. By the time the grant period ended, all three were in place. The finance team developed stronger reporting and management skills. An audit was completed. A fundraising plan was created. These are not glamorous achievements. But they are the foundation on which everything else is built. An organisation that cannot manage money or plan strategically cannot sustain its programmes. WAG built those systems, and they have enabled every success that followed.
