Nonprofit Organization Management - Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
We established Convoy Missions Australia (CMA) back in November, originally this was an Innovation Framework concept as aiming to connect communities together on the journey towards recovery. Since our humble beginnings of providing ration packs for RFS and Emergency Service staff in-between meals, we have evolved and grew rapidly in response to the drought, fire and flood, using human centred design frameworks to provide options to bushfire and flood survivors to help them get back on their feet.CMA has two arms to the organisation, the program management arm with major collaborations between organisations and ourselves & Mini Missions, where we connect communities through social media and send care packages, back to school items, boots for farmers etc.Currently, CMA is working on two main missions:-Operation Water Security-Operation Hope and Dignity Operation Water Security is a large scale project, looking to secure water solutions for fire and drought affected communities in the Bega Valley, Shoalhaven and Eurobodalla region. To date we have delivered 80 portable 1000L IBC containers, we have a further 100 arriving within the next week and we are aiming to deliver another 400 within the next month. We have also worked with Zero Mass Water to deliver and install 3 Hydropanels in Wallaga lake, which will deliver 450 litres of drinking water per month, using innovative and non-extractive technology.Operation Hope and Dignity is an incredibly ambitious, but achievable mission, aiming to deliver 1000 Homes across fire affected communities.
