Your Mission Deserves More Time. Let Us Handle the Digital Side

Outsource bespoke website and social media management for established nonprofits, social enterprises, and NGOs across Africa
Running a nonprofit is a full-time job. Your team works hard every day to make a difference. But maintaining a professional website and active social media channels on top of that? Without outsourcing digital services, that is where things often slip.
At First Web Foundation, we step in so you do not have to choose. We manage your digital presence while you focus on the work that matters most. And as a bonus, every rand, dollar, or kwacha you spend with us also helps a smaller nonprofit somewhere in Africa get online for the first time.
Is This Service Right for You?
This service is built for organisations that are already doing important work and are already well-established financially, but simply do not have enough hours in the day to keep up with their online presence. If any of the following sounds familiar, you are in the right place.
| ✔ Your social media goes quiet for weeks at a time. | ✔ Your website has not been updated in months. |
| ✔ You do not have a dedicated communications officer. | ✔ You want a consistent online presence but lack the time. |
| ✔ Donor or partner communications feel rushed. | ✔ You want to focus on programmes, not platforms. |
You do not need a big budget or a large team to work with us. You just need to be an established organisation ready to grow your online impact.
What We Do for Your Organisation
We offer a range of bespoke digital management services. Each one is tailored to the reality of running a nonprofit — tight timelines, lean teams, and limited resources.
|
📅 Content Creation & Social Media Scheduling We plan, write, and schedule posts for your social media channels — Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, X (Twitter), and more. Your platforms stay active and consistent week after week. No more last-minute scrambles or long stretches of silence. We work weeks ahead so your audience always has something to engage with. |
|
💬 Audience Engagement & Community Management Your followers want to feel heard. We monitor your comments, direct messages, and mentions daily. We respond professionally, nurture relationships, and flag anything urgent for your team. This keeps your community active and shows potential donors and partners that your organisation is responsive and trustworthy. |
|
📊 Performance Reporting & Strategy Optimisation Once a month, you receive a clear, plain-language report showing exactly what is working and what is not. We track reach, engagement, follower growth, and website traffic. Then we adjust the strategy based on the data — so results keep improving over time without any extra effort from your side. |
|
🌐 Website Management (WordPress) We keep your WordPress site up to date, secure, and looking professional. This includes publishing blog posts and news updates, refreshing page content, updating images, maintaining plugins, and fixing broken links. Your website stays fast, clean, and credible — without pulling a single staff member away from programme work. |
|
✉️ Email Newsletter Management A regular email newsletter keeps your supporters, donors, and stakeholders close. We write, design, and send newsletters on your behalf using platforms like Mailchimp or MailerLite. We also track open rates and click-throughs to keep improving every edition. |

When You Work With Us, Others Benefit Too
Here is something most digital agencies will never say: part of the fee you pay us goes directly towards supporting smaller nonprofits across Africa.
First Web Foundation exists to bridge the digital divide. We give free digital tools, training, and website support to small nonprofits and social enterprises that cannot afford professional help. Running these programmes costs money — and that is where your organisation comes in.
When you hire us to manage your digital presence, you are doing two things at once. You are getting your own team the breathing room they need. And you are helping a grassroots community organisation in Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, or South Africa get its first website off the ground.
That is impact without extra cost. No additional donation required.

Why Work With First Web Foundation?
We are not a general-purpose agency. We are a nonprofit that lives and works in the same space as you. We understand the pressures, the limited budgets, and the unique communication needs of mission-driven organisations.
- We speak your language: We do not use technical jargon or make things complicated. We explain what we are doing, why we are doing it, and what it means for your mission.
- We are Africa-focused: Our team understands the African nonprofit context — from mobile-first audiences to culturally appropriate content across South Africa, Zambia, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho, and Tanzania.
- We are mission-driven: We are not here just to make money. We are here because we believe every organisation doing good work deserves a strong digital presence.
- Your data stays safe: We follow best practices in content management and access control. You stay in control of your accounts at all times.
You get real people: When you contact us, you speak to a real person who knows your account. No chatbots, no call centres.
Questions We Hear Often
How much does it cost?
We price each package based on the scope of work — the number of platforms, posting frequency, and level of support needed. We offer flexible options to match different budgets. Contact us, and we will be upfront about pricing from the start.
Will we lose control of our accounts?
Not at all. You keep full ownership and admin access to all your platforms at all times. We work as a trusted team member, not as a replacement for your voice. You can review and approve content before anything goes live if you prefer.
Do you only work with organisations in South Africa?
No. We work with nonprofits and social enterprises across sub-Saharan Africa, including South Africa, Zambia, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho, and Tanzania. We are also open to working with organisations outside Africa on a case-by-case basis.
How long before we see results?
You will notice improved consistency almost immediately — active channels, timely responses, and a cleaner website. Broader results like increased reach and follower growth typically show within two to three months of consistent activity.
What if we already have some capacity in-house?
Perfect — we can work alongside your existing team. Some clients use us for specific tasks only, such as monthly reporting or website updates. We are flexible and will build a package around what you actually need.
How does this help smaller nonprofits?
Part of every service fee we receive is reinvested into our programmes for small nonprofits across Africa. This includes free website builds, digital training through First Web Academy, and non-cash grants for digital tools. So the more work we do for established organisations, the more we can give away for free.
Ready to Free Up Your Team’s Time?
Your team should not be spending their limited time on scheduling posts or chasing website updates. That is our job. Let us take it off your plate so you can get back to what your organisation does best.

There is no obligation, and our first conversation is always free.
