DonateQuestions about donating to education
How can I donate to education in Africa?
Choose an education cause, such as Scholarships or Books and computers, and give online. Choose a cause, enter your amount in US dollars and pay securely by Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay or cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and 100+ coins). You get an email receipt straight away and a field report every quarter.
Can I sponsor a student's education in Africa?
Yes. Scholarships pay secondary and university costs for students from poor families, with mentoring throughout, and we track graduation and jobs afterwards.
How do you build schools in Africa?
Communities contribute labour and materials, and an engineer inspects every building before it opens, so the classroom is safe and looked after.
