Our journey began as most great ideas <\/span>do:<\/span> crisis calls, and people who care answer<\/span> –<\/span> aided <\/span>with a bit of luck. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The crisis? COVID-19, and its own pandemic of <\/span>information <\/span>uncertainty <\/span>against struggling <\/span>public messaging. The call? To make the complex simple and real. The people? Entirely volunteers. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The result? CovidComms. What started as an emergency effort quickly became a trusted source of clear & accessible information, tailored to people’s everyday realities. Through over 170 info tools<\/span>, <\/span>a <\/span>translations guide<\/span> for the 11 languages<\/span>,<\/span> and 650 workshops<\/span> rolled out via our own <\/span>Mobilize App<\/span>, we helped communities understand and act on complex issues around <\/span>covid<\/span> awareness, vaccine acceptance, and public health justice.<\/span> \u00a0
<\/span><\/p>

The luck? We stayed. As the pandemic eased, we expanded our focus to other urgent social issues like anti-corruption, democracy, <\/span>e<\/span>nergy<\/span>, and the <\/span>climate<\/span> crisis<\/span> –<\/span> always staying rooted in making complex ideas simple and relatable.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

From this work, Mobilize was born<\/span> –<\/span> a team shaped by crisis but built for long-term change. With deep experience in high-impact <\/span>campaigns, we use<\/span> collaborative approaches,<\/span> local languages, creative <\/span>content<\/span>, and community workshops to make sure messages truly connect<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0
The focus in <\/span>Mobilize\u2019s<\/span> four years of existence has been on issues such as public health (in particular, COVID-19), corruption, the energy <\/span>crisis,<\/span> and climate <\/span>justice<\/span>. <\/span>Future plans<\/span> include conducting public campaigns around issues such as gender and societal <\/span>violence <\/span>and,<\/span> contributing to social cohesion through campaigns on issues such as anti-racism.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Mobilize Foundation is a registered non-profit organisation (252-757 NPO).\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In addition to this, \u2018Mobilize the Agency for Change\u2019 is a separately registered social enterprise collectively owned by the Mobilize Foundation, founding directors, and workers. This entity enables us to better create financial sustainability for the NPO; particularly through offering quality services to good causes, and the use of the Mobilize application.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Mobilize is almost entirely reliant on donor funding; but where we can generate revenue, we plough this back into the organisation itself. We do not make any profit. In generating revenue, Mobilize only works on campaigns that align with its vision, and any money it makes goes back into our campaigns in a way that does not exploit or take advantage of those it works with, or those who work for it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

We work with a wide variety of organisations. Core to our ethos is a collaborative way of working. We believe our work is not simply enriched by our <\/span>partnerships, but<\/span> made fundamentally possible. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Additionally, while we aim to sustain parts of our work through services, our generous funders have enabled us to deliver <\/span>our impactful<\/span> communications campaigns<\/span>. \u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Whether partner, funder, or client, we believe in the importance of aligned progressive values for a different world and strive to place collaboration with those pushing for it at the center of what we do.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
