What your money can do

One off Gifts

 
£15 buys a uniform, which is compulsory at most Zambian schools and boosts an orphan's self esteem and sense of belonging.

£17 pays for a pair of shoes for a Zambian child, many of whom have to walk long distances to school.

£55 will enable an orphaned child to attend primary school for one year by providing a uniform, shoes, books, pens and school fees.

£87 will help an orphaned child attend secondary school for one year by providing a uniform, shoes, books, pens and school fees.

£250 pays for a year's support for a student teacher including all of their basic living costs. Teacher training provides young people with a good chance of getting a secure government teaching job, and becoming a great role model for orphans.

Monthly Gifts

£5 a month can support a vulnerable child through primary school.

£7.50 a month will enable a child to attend secondary school where she can get emotional support, skills to earn a living and learn how to stay safe from HIV.

£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.

£15 per month could train one peer health educator.

£30 a month could help train 10 contact teachers to support the peer health educators in their schools.

Please note, these costs are under review and will be updated shortly to reflect rising inflation in both Zambia and the UK.

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.
