Support our work
Your support reaches children, caregivers and young women in Kano through programmes that are planned, monitored and reported on.
Ways to support
Choose the option that suits you or your organisation. We will talk through the details with you.
Fund a programme
Back a full programme or one part of it, such as HIV testing outreach, OVC household support or girls' education. We agree targets and reporting with you at the start.
Sponsor a child's education
Cover school fees, uniforms and learning materials for a vulnerable child, so that he or she stays in school and finishes.
Support a caregiver's livelihood
Provide start-up support and business training for a caregiver, usually a mother or grandmother, so the household can meet its own needs.
Give in kind
Food items, hygiene kits, school supplies, IT equipment or office space all help our programmes go further.
Share your expertise
Professionals in health, finance, law, data and communications can offer pro bono time to strengthen our work.
Corporate partnership
Companies can link their social investment to measurable results for women and children in Kano.
