General fund

The General Fund allows us to use your money where it is most needed.


You can donate to the General Fund now using the form on the right.


Your donation may help us to build a well or a water pump in a village, it may help us to educate a child, or it may help us to provide support and protection for an AIDS orphan.

Whatever the situation, we can assure you that your donation will support long term sustainable projects, helping us to change and improve the lives of children all around the world.

Big or small, your donation makes a difference!
  • $15 can provide 20 packets of high energy biscuits specially developed for malnourished children.
  • $33 can provide 5 local-language story books, helping kids to learn to read and write.
  • $75 can provide basic surgical equipment to one hospital lacking adequate medical amenities.
  • $95 can provide vaccines for 200 children in India to stop them contracting measles, a deadly disease.
  • $200 can provide 18 treated nets to protect 73 kids in the Republic of Congo against malaria.
  • $530 can supply half a tonne of UNIMIX porridge to malnourished children in Somalia.
  • $1000 can provide a 24 square meter tent to be used as an emergency shelter or temporary classroom if a natural disaster occurs.  
Plus, we make your donation work extremely hard for children! For every dollar you donate, we leverage $10 in the field! See how.
