No Small Plan Update
At Thankyou, we don’t think hope is a soft word. We hold onto it like our life depends on it. Since 2020, we’ve seen the mission we are part of helping solve - the end of extreme poverty - go from bad to worse. In that same time period our plan - No Small Plan - took more twists and turns than we’d ever expected – we’ve mapped it for you...
International Women’s Day - Breaking The Silence On Sanitation
Most of us in Australia understand the importance of giving. It’s easy to see the need for donating to cancer research, so we hold events to raise funds. When there’s a need for food drive donations, we put a few bits and pieces together to fill the pantries of those doing it tough. However there are issues that hold just as much importance and are equally as worthy but with less awareness – issues like the Global Sanitation Crisis...
This is what greatness looks like (it's not what you think)
Our very own MD, Daniel Flynn, wrote the below reflective piece while over in Germany after being named one of JCI’s Top Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the World for 2014…
The Day That Kickstarted Our Biggest Year Yet
For the rest of Melbourne, the morning of Wednesday 17 July 2013 was probably like any other – wintry, cold, a marker of three more work days till the weekend. For our team, it was a day unlike any other. Throughout the previous 12 to 18 months, our friends and family had been wondering why the heck we were all working so many hours to grow our little bottled water company. The truth was that behind the scenes we’d been working on something huge; something we’d kept under wraps pretty tight...
Three Ways To Drive A Great Team Culture
Culture is key! Don’t believe me? Just gather around the water cooler of any organisation and listen to what’s being said, what people are murmuring about. The good news is you can play a role in shaping a positive and thriving culture.
My Friend Riaz-Uddin
I think I may just have the best job in the world.
‘Working’ at Thankyou over the last few years has taken me to some of the most remote locations on the planet. Places so remote and rural where hospitals, roads, toilets and access to safe water seem like ‘foreign’ concepts...
Driven by impact
The moment I stepped off the plane and felt the heat of the African sun, a rush of excitement came over me. I soaked in the fact that we had arrived at the destination where our very first food project was being funded. Coming off a few crazy months (well, more like a crazy year) of launching two brand new product ranges and implementing a massive marketing campaign, it was a surreal feeling that we were soon going to see the results of our hard work.
A Mother’s Hope
Today we celebrate our mothers. Mothers who look at us with pride and who are our biggest supporters. But most of all we think of women like Veronika who live every day to fight for their families. We are reminded that as we get alongside these women and do what we can to live every day, give every day we can lift whole families out of poverty...
Water Is Life
With the UN’s World Water Day upon us, we here at Thankyou have been inspired to stop and reflect. Beyond a flushing toilet and a quenching of thirst, for 844 million people around the world who don’t have safe water access it means so much more.
