Friends of Ossu is a local (Willoughby-based) community friendship group supporting the people of Ossu – a small village in impoverished Timor-Leste. As a founding member of Friends of Ossu, I am pleased and proud of the support we have provided over the past decade. We have supported education, health and environmental programs which are detailed on our website www.friendsofossu.org.au.
Our latest project – a water sanitation and health (WaSH) project – comes at the behest of the village leaders in Ossu – they are in desperate need of a clean and reliable water supply.
This is a major project and Friends of Ossu, in alliance with WaterAid, has fully assessed the needs and costed the project. We have commenced Stage 1 to bring water from one of the supply points and now seek financial support for Stages 2 & 3 – connecting more water sources to schools and the clinic in Ossu. More information on our friendship group, on Timor-Leste and Ossu, and on the WaSH project is attached to this communication.
We are asking you and your business to assist by way of sponsorship – to give water to the Ossu community. To this end, one of our members – Luke Keighery – is walking 800km on the Camino trail in Spain in September/October. Luke is paying his own costs – a significant contribution – so we are looking to leverage this contribution by a factor of 10-20 times to raise $100,000.
We ask you to partner us in providing water to Ossu by becoming a Corporate Sponsor. You can become a sponsor at the following levels:
|
➢ High Water Sponsor (Platinum) |
$30,000 |
|
➢ Pipe Water Sponsor (Gold) |
$15,000 |
|
➢ Tap Water Sponsor (Silver) |
$7,500 |
|
➢ Corporate Supporter |
$2,000 – $7,499 |
Read the full details including features and benefits here.
All sponsorship monies are deposited with WaterAid Australia, a Deductible Gift Recipient.
We look forward to having you sign up as a Corporate Sponsor. Please contact either myself on 0410 545 585 or Luke on 0424 188 139 to sponsor or to discuss further.
Yours faithfully
Rosemary Bekker
President, Willoughby Friends of Ossu
