Unrestricted support is the most useful of all: it covers whatever is most urgent that month, from medicines to transport for a family tracing trip.
Fees, uniforms, shoes, books and examination costs for boys in primary school, secondary school, boarding school or skills training.
Maize meal, beans, cooking oil, vegetables and kitchen fuel for around 100 boys, every day of the year.
Mattresses, blankets, bed sheets, mosquito nets, clothing, shoes and hygiene supplies for the dormitories.
Repairs and improvements to dormitories, classrooms, the kitchen, water supply, sanitation and the playing field.
A regular monthly or annual commitment lets us plan ahead — especially for older boys continuing their education over several years.
Food, school materials, sports equipment, tools, bedding or professional services. Please contact us first so that gifts match real needs.
Official donation statements and receipts are issued where applicable, and we are glad to confirm how a particular gift was used. Donors and partners who support a specific area — school fees, food, infrastructure — can request a short report.
If you are planning a larger gift, a sponsorship, an in-kind delivery or a partnership, please get in touch first so we can match it to what the boys actually need.
