Give it forward

Somebody's story, somebody's book, somebody's hour got each of us here. This is where you pass it on.

Ways to give

The idea

Giving forward, not giving down.

Charity flows downwards and asks for gratitude. Giving forward moves sideways, you received something, so you hand it on to the next person, and they do the same. It is the model this whole organisation was built on: a group of students who had nothing to give except what they had already been given.

Give your story

The most valuable thing you can give costs nothing.

Tell it

Your story, on your terms, published where a child will find it.

Share your story

Give an hour

Mentor one young person. Not a career plan, a conversation, repeated.

Become a mentor

Change one word

Say “person with albinism”, not “albino”. Correct it when you hear it. This is free, and it works.

Why language matters

Support a story

Individuals, friends and family

Small, regular giving is what keeps a programme alive between grant cycles.

Giving is not yet connected Add M-Pesa paybill or till number, bank details, and a card option for international givers. Unit costs above must be calculated from real procurement figures before they are published.

Fund at scale

Companies, foundations and partners

For institutional funders we work in defined, costed components with stated indicators, a school distribution round, a mentorship cohort, a print run, a county rollout. You fund a thing that finishes, and you receive evidence that it did.
