A group that has played a key role in promoting the development of civil society in Sichuan and China is in urgent need of financial support. Three days after the earthquake a number of NGOs forged an alliance known as the Sichuan 5.12 Voluntary Relief Service Centre. The network was highly effective in providing the groups with research data, policy analysis and information about all aspects of emergency relief operations.
The 5.12 group is now planning to register as an NGO itself and continue offering information services, lectures and training to the grassroots NGO that are affiliated with it.
To run operations efficiently, the group needs three full-time staff and two part-time.
Total administration budget for the next 12 months is between 200,000rmb and 250,000rmb.
They are currently looking for donors to support their great work.
