WISHLIST “The Wishlist Program” is a unique approach to development by the web-based charity organization JustAid (UK). Through the medium of their webpage, JustAid gives communities in the developing countries the opportunity to request assistance of international donors and to fund-raise financial means necessary for small-scale projects. In Nepal, JustAid works together with PSD Nepal to strengthen and improve rural education, health/sanitation facilities and to set up micro projects, such as the construction of class rooms and education facilities. As active involvement of the targeted people is essential for the sustainability of any given project, the first step always consists out of the identification of different community needs. After this has been done by PSD and its local partners, the identified necessities are formatted into a proposal which is send to JustAid. The following step is to post the proposed projects on JustAid´s webpage with an exact outline of the items and costs. Through online donations (mainly individuals) money is raised for the projects and in case enough funds have been received the implementation process starts. PSD Nepal then coordinates, monitors and evaluates the project with its partners from Kathmandu and reports at successful completion. A unique aspect of this partnership is that JustAid and PSD Nepal allow 100% of each donation to be used for the chosen development project. Both organizations don’t use any percentage of the project donations to fund administration costs, making JustAid and its Wishlist program 100% transparent and accountable at all times.
