About Self Help Africa  

Self Help Africa is a leading international development charity with an expertise in small-scale farming and growing family-farm businesses. We are motivated by injustice, by our expertise in small-scale agriculture and family-farm business, and the opportunity we have to help small farmers change the lives of their families.

In 2014 Self Help Africa merged with another Irish organisation – Gorta – who had been working in the African continent for almost 50 years; and in 2018 the merged entity rebranded as Self Help Africa.

Self Help Africa Regular Giving

For Self Help Africa, our core mission is to end hunger and poverty in rural Africa.

To fulfil this mission, a primary goal for the SHA Fundraising Team is to have a robust, consistent income from loyal regular donors; and to continue to maintain and increase the numbers of regular monthly givers in our database.

Face-to-Face (D2D) fundraising has long been part of the fundraising mix in Self Help Africa and Gorta. We are now requesting new proposals to fulfil our face-to-face donor recruitment for 2025 and into 2026.

The goal is to recruit 1200 new monthly Direct Debit donors. This comprises 1000 (one thousand) donors in the Republic of Ireland and a test recruitment of 200 (two hundred) donors in Northern Ireland commencing in Q1 2025, or as early as possible thereafter.

Donors are to be recruited through Door2Door or Private Site methods only.

The Agency / Supplier must provide a quote that includes all costs, as well as:

  • Northern Ireland recruitment for 2025/26 a pilot ‘test’ campaign and this element of the quote should be priced separately, within the overall proposal.
  • Cost per Acquisition (CPA) per donor
  • The VAT rate to be applied
  • Project Management set up costs or any other associated set up costs
  • The details of clawback, or donor returns processes for those donors that ‘do not start'(cancel) before 1st payment; or fail payments in the first 1 – 3 months.
