From sports marketer to Oxfam Novib

My name is Tom Sterk. I am a fourth year Bachelor student in Sports marketing at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam. In this short blog, I will take you through my journey to Oxfam Novib, and the project which I will be working on. 

Journey to Oxfam Novib

In my years as a teenager, I developed a strong fascination for fitness and beside that I had

an interest in economics and marketing. Sports marketing seemed as the appropriate solution to my interests. However, during my HBO Bachelor in Sports marketing, I came to the conclusion that my fascination for fitness was mainly caused by my interest in nutrition and the effects of nutrition on the body and diseases. I decided that I wanted to focus my time and energy in acquiring knowledge in this field of work. In line with my ambitions, in the third year of my HBO Bachelor in Sports marketing, I followed a pre-master programme at the University of Wageningen with the specialization of Management with a focus on food and agribusiness. During my time at the University of Wageningen, I followed the course Environmental Economics and Policy, which influenced my thoughts on topics like sustainability, climate change, social justice and corporate social responsibilities. After acquiring this knowledge, I wanted an internship at a company whose philosophy moves beyond profit. 

Therefore, I am now at Oxfam Novib on a project called SINFA. It is a project which creates developmental opportunities for the youth in Northern-Uganda through access to high-speed internet, which has been started with a funding of the Nationale Postcode Loterij.

 So what is SINFA?

Oxfam Novib believes in the core principles of the proverb ‘Don’t give them a fish, but a rod.’ This proverb implies that instead of giving people money or aid (a fish), proving people with equal opportunities (a rod), creates a sustainable impact. And precisely within the core of this principle, the organization SINFA is created.  SINFA is a one of a kind project, even for a multifaceted organization such as Oxfam Novib. The word project is also a misnomer, because SINFA started as a project, but is now an almost fully independent social for-profit enterprise. The vision of creating a self-sufficient social enterprise required Oxfam Novib to step out of their comfort non-governmental organization (NGO) zone and dive into the depth of the private sector. This brought all kinds of new situations, complications and challenges to Oxfam Novibs NGO attitude and approach to work. But precisely this ‘marriage‘ of a business and a social organization, is what makes SINFA so fascinating.

A company can only survive in the private sector when it creates a competitive advantage and adds value for its customers. Therefore, the employees of SINFA must help to create value in the companies they work with. For the people who live and work in Northern-Uganda, this creates a feeling of being part of something bigger, instead of being helped because of pity. The impact of SINFA’s work can transform the lives, families and communities of inhabitants of Northern-Uganda, through meaningful employment in digitally enabled services (Impact sourcing).

 Unfortunately, SINFA lacks sufficient customers to generate enough income to employ all their employees, and that’s how I, as a Sports marketing student, got involved in such an inspiring project.

I am here to help SINFA generate more business, through market research, strategy, and marketing.
