There is more than one way to help

Ways to get involved

• Give monthly

  Monthly donors are the steady support our team can plan a school year or a planting season around. Give any amount each month, change or cancel it at any time from the secure link in your receipt, and get a yearly letter on what your gifts did.

• Share a story

  Know a family, a school or a village that needs a hand? Tell us. Our team reads every story, visits when it can and, when an appeal is the right way to help, organizes it together with the family.

• Volunteer

  Teachers, nurses, agronomists, builders and people who can drive a pickup: our outreach days and deliveries run on volunteers from the districts where we work. Write to us with what you can do and when.

• Companies, churches and schools

  Fund an appeal as a group, match your employees' gifts or sponsor a school's meals for a year. We provide the story, the budget, the photos and a report your members can read.

• Fundraise for an appeal

  Run, bake, celebrate a birthday or ask your network: share an appeal's link and tell us you are fundraising, and we will send you updates to pass on to the people who gave.
