A few hundred dollars started a business. $40,000 started a programme.
Ada Okoli took a soft loan worth a few hundred dollars in 2022 and turned a small trade into a wholesale and retail business. The St. Thomas Aquinas empowerment programme launched with $40,000 and has since supported more than 500 women. Small sums, placed carefully, compound.
Give monthly
Monthly gifts are what let us plan.
Our programmes run all year, and so do their costs. Recurring gifts are worth far more to us than their size suggests, because they are the only kind we can plan around. Choose an amount, and Stripe handles the rest.
Every gift goes into one general fund, which we direct to wherever the need is greatest — including our new Community Education Centre, about to be built in Nasarawa State. We don’t promise that a particular dollar buys a particular thing, because we could not honestly keep that promise. A page for giving to named projects is on the way. Online gifts are in US dollars.
Give once
A single gift, in any amount.
Choose the amount yourself, and Stripe processes the gift securely, in US dollars. If you would rather not give online, a cheque by post is always welcome, payable to Children of Rural Africa.
