About the NGO Administration ManagerWelcome to the presentation of the NGO Administration Manager, the ideal online administrative solution for small development and non profit organisations. Manage your programmes, donors, cash flow and employees in a single and easy-to-use interface.

This presentation demonstrates the main screens and overall functionality of the NGO Administration Manager. For this purpose, we have invented a hypothetical NGO by the name of Happy Childrens Homes. This Nepali NGO is based in Kathmandu and operates four different children day care facilities, along with some education programmes and a transportation service on the side. The NGO is sponsored in a structural manner by international donors.

In the next slides, the various modules and screens of the application will be detailed:

: presentation of our example NGO: application home page: Programme module: Donor module: Financial module: Personnel module: Fiscal year module: Communication module: Report moduleIntroduction Happy Childrens HomesThe local NGO Happy Childrens Homes (HCH) was established on 01 April 2009. Assisted by international and local donor support, HCH has been able to establish a number of day care homes for providing advanced day care and schooling to disadvantaged children from 3 to 13 years of age.

Currently, HCH operates four homes at different locations within greater Kathmandu. The two homes in Lalitpur and Koteshwor have been operational since 2009, while recently two more homes were opened in Boudha and Buddhanilkanta. Besides the homes, HCH operates a microbus for transport of the children, facilitates a schooling programme for the mothers of the children (Mothers Ahead) and is one of the sponsors of a city network of similar day care organisations (Childrens Welfare Network Nepal). Alphabetically sorted, the list of programmes that need to managed on a daily basis, including the general office, is as follows:

Childrens Welfare Network Nepal Happy Childrens Home - Boudha Happy Childrens Home - Buddhanilkanta Happy Childrens Home - Koteshwor Happy Childrens Home - Sanepa Microbus Mothers Ahead Office general

HCH is supported by 15 institutional donors from all over the world, mostly foundations and networks involved in promoting childrens programmes in the developing world. They provide a steady income for the NGO in order to manage its daily budget as well as finance structural investments for the near and long term future. One of the most active donors is the Friends of Happy Childrens Homes network, which was established by a US national and now has representatives in five different countries. The list of donors that need to be administrated on a daily basis is as follows:

All Kids (UK) Childings (Australia) Childrens Advantage Foundation (UK) Every Kid is One (USA) Friends of HCH (USA, UK, Japan, France & Italy) Help ze vooruit! (Netherlands) Kids for Children (Israel) Kids Network (USA) Kids of the Earth (USA) Stichting Kids Trust (Netherlands) Stichting TBGH (Netherlands)

Besides the institutional donations, HCH also receives numerous smaller amounts from local donors in and around Nepal. Since there are many of them, these donors are administrated under one central account called Local donor.
