Where the money goes

  • 70%goes straight to grants
  • 15%pays for the training
  • 15%runs the programme, including the checks

Seventy naira in every hundred goes straight to grants. Fifteen pays for the training. Fifteen runs the programme, including the checks that make the first seventy safe to give.

No grant is paid in one lump. Every payment is tied to a milestone, and the next one is released only when the last has been accounted for.

Give monthly

Monthly giving is what lets us commit to a changemaker for a full year. You can change or stop it whenever you want.
