General school fund

Donate to a primary school in Africa: Edna, in Kampala

Not every gift needs to be tied to one child or classroom. Donations to Edna’s general school fund go where the need is most urgent that term — sometimes a leaking classroom roof, sometimes a shortfall in the kitchen budget, sometimes exam fees for Primary 7 leavers. It’s the most flexible way to give.

How it works

From your first gift to your first school report

  1. Choose a tier and pay. Pick an amount on the donate page and pay by Mobile Money or Visa card.
  2. Meet who you support. We email you the child, class or project your gift funds, with a photo and background.
  3. Cover several months at once. Pay for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months in one go.
  4. Follow their progress. Written reports and letters arrive at the end of every school term.
Common questions

Before you sponsor

Child sponsorship is tied to one pupil’s costs. The general fund covers whatever the school’s most pressing shared need is that term — repairs, kitchen supplies, exam fees, or a shortfall in another area.
