Donations & Sponsorship


Any donation, no matter how large or small really does make a difference.


We at Friends of Si-Kunda endeavour to make all donated monies go as far as possible to help in the community. By making a monthly donation, however small, helps us to continue to supply the schools and families with the support that they need.

 

For example, for just £6 per month for a year, we are able to supply 600 exercise books, or 170 large boxes of chalk. We are also planning to provide text books for the schools in the near future.



We are very grateful for any donations received, be it a regular monthly payment or a one-off donation.
