Ways to Support

Your birthday, wedding, marathon, graduation, chama, harvest Sunday, office party could change a young mother’s life.

Whether you give on your own or with your church, school, chama or company, there is a way to walk with her that fits you.

For Individuals

Start a Fundraiser

Turn a birthday, a run or a Sunday collection into school fees, clinic visits and a fresh start for a young mother. You bring the people; we help with the rest.

    Tell us your plan

    Send us a WhatsApp or email with your occasion and dates. We send you photos, a short story about the girls, and a message you can post.

    Friends give straight to GPAK by M-Pesa on 0725 737 867, or your group collects and sends one transfer. Use the share tool below to get the word out.

    See what it did

    We confirm every shilling received, thank your supporters, and send you an update on what your fundraiser paid for.

Host a Gathering

A dinner, a movie night, a nyama choma or a women’s group meeting can become a fundraiser. Invite your friends, share a few words about the girls, and ask each guest to give what they would spend on a night out.

We send you photos, a short story and a message to read or share on the day.

KES 1,000, about the price of a meal out, funds one girl-month: fortnightly mentor visits, transport to the clinic, and her place in a peer support group. Ten guests at a dinner can fund ten.

Dedicate a Gift

Honour a mother, a teacher, a friend or someone you have lost with a gift that helps a young mother finish school or learn a trade. It makes a thoughtful present for birthdays, Mother’s Day, weddings and graduations.

When you give, tell us the person’s name and email or phone number. We send them a note to say a gift has been made in their name, and what it will do. The amount stays private unless you ask us to share it.

Double It With Your Employer

Many employers match the gifts their staff make to registered organizations, sometimes doubling or tripling them. Ask your HR or giving team whether your company has a matching programme and what it needs from us.

Each programme sets its own rules, and some only match gifts to organizations registered in their own country. We gladly send our registration certificate, receipts and any forms your employer asks us to complete.

Ask us for matching documents

Join a Giving Circle

Our circles are communities of steady givers who make it possible to promise a young mother the whole journey. Four yearly circles, named in Dholuo, from Hera to Rieko, plus Walk With Her for monthly gifts. Members receive field letters and a yearly summary built from our programme records.

Spread the Word

Sharing costs nothing and reaches people we never could. Pick a ready-made message, change it if you like, and post it in a tap.
