OUR STAKEHOLDERS
OUR STAKEHOLDERS
Helpcode’s stakeholders are all those who are involved in
its activities in some way, or are interested in finding out
more about their content and results.
Stakeholders include, first and foremost, the beneficiaries of the Association’s
operations, beginning with girls and boys, and, along with them, all its supporters
and individual, private and institutional donors, whose contributions allow
Helpcode to do what it does and provide beneficiaries with help and support.
In addition to beneficiaries and donors, the third pillar of Helpcode is its
“internal stakeholders”, that is, its members and the members of the Board of
Directors, along with all its employees and team members in Italy and abroad,
who work with great commitment and professionalism to allow the Association
to fulfil its mission efficiently and effectively.
Many more stakeholders revolve around these key stakeholders, from the
partners who help Helpcode implement its projects to all the primary and
secondary non-profit organisations in the networks with which the Association
collaborates.
2.1 Beneficiaries
Helpcode’s prime beneficiaries are the girls and boys
assisted through Child Sponsorship programmes or
reached by the Association’s projects and activities.
Child beneficiaries
2020
2019
19,762 boys 21,648 boys
19,391 girls 24,963 girls
Total 39,153 Total 46,611
In 2020, restrictions for containing the spread of COVID-19 and prolonged
school closures did not allow us to help as many child beneficiaries as in 2019.
Helpcode sought to make up for the long interruption of school attendance
that produced an enormous vacuum in education for students, especially
those without internet access, through community support, for example
by providing lessons over the radio in Mozambique or distributing exercise
books prepared by UNICEF in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (refer to
the “Stories” box on page 22).
