I’m collecting pens, books, clothing for kids in Africa. How do I send them?
A. Shipping goods to Africa is expensive and difficult: it often costs more than the value of what you’re donating. For these reasons, we recommend that you donate money, and let the Fund do the purchasing of goods locally. These purchases support the local economy, and in particular, the livelihoods of grandmothers and single mothers who make a living by selling goods in the second hand market. However, we welcome your donation of used clothing, school supplies or books provided you undertake its shipping and cost.
