In the past, Help Liberia Foundation have not made many organised attempts to tell people about the work they do.

The Foundation is based in Poland where they have relied on word of mouth and personal contacts to raise money. They also have a website at http://www.help-liberia.org/

They would like to create more publicity about the work they are doing and link up with like-minded people and organisations. This could lead to some useful contacts, new ideas, and possibly to sources of funding and equipment for the school.

Please provide suggestions on how they can do this through face to face contact, the media, and online. We would be particularly interested to hear from neighbours who have practical experience in this area.

I can help with the macro-aspects.

To communicate with anyone, the starting point is the demographic profile of the target population.

Demographic profile could include all aspects like regions in the world, specific countries, age, gender, education levels, profession, interests, etc.

In basic terms - the big question that must be first answered is - who are you trying to reach?

The Communication campaign can only happen 'after' clarity on the demographic aspects.
