Get Involved
Please help us to continue work and enable us to extend our current projects and implement new ones by donating money today.
Donating just £7 means we can provide 100 bowls of porridge; £25 will fund tools and seeds for a kitchen garden.
There are a number of ways you can make a donation:
- Text AFCH11 followed by the amount of your donation (ie. £7) to 70070 and your donation will be deducted from your mobile phone credit or your next phone bill. Please click here to find out more.
- You can send a cheque made payable to 'African Children's Fund' to
Silver Birch House,
Longworth,

African Children's Fund has also signed up to micro-giving site - Ploink! - as we know first hand just what a huge difference small change can make to the projects we support. Ploink! allows you to save pennies in your own personal online piggy bank and donate them to your favourite charities. After all, the act of giving is just as valuable as the amount given!
