What your money can do

• £12 a month will help to support a child right through his or her schooling and beyond. You will also become a Friend of Cecily's Fund.

• £35 a month could help train one of our school leavers as a teacher so that he can get a secure job and be a positive role-model for other orphans.
• £5 a month can support a vulnerable child through secondary school where she can get emotional support, skills to earn a living and learn how to stay safe from HIV.
• £2.50 a month will support a child through government primary school; once a child has completed primary school, she is three times less likely to become HIV positive.
• £10 buys a uniform, which is compulsory at most Zambian schools and boosts an orphan's self esteem and sense of belonging.
• £13 pays for a pair of shoes for a Zambian child, many of whom have to walk long distances to school.
• £50 pays for a month of peer health education sessions in one school, reaching 140 children with vital health messages.

Set up a regular donation through payroll giving

Regular donations help us to keep our promise to support all our children right through to the end of their schooling. Your donation is taken from your salary before tax is deducted, so it costs you less to give more. If they don't have one, we can advise your employer on how to set up a payroll giving scheme. They may be also be willing to match your donations. More information is available on the HMRC website for both employees and employers.

Make a one-off donation

If you are a UK taxpayer, you can use Gift Aid to make your donation go further by telling HM Revenue and Customs to add the tax which you have already paid to your donation. It doesn’t cost you anything more, and could mean an extra 28p for each pound you give (25p in Gift Aid and - until April 2011- 3p Government Relief). That would be enough for almost a year of primary education on a donation of £100. If you are a higher-rate taxpayer you can use your self assessment return to reclaim the difference between the higher and basic rate of tax. A bequest to Cecily's Fund in your will would not be considered part of your estate and would reduce the inheritance tax payable.
