How
you can help
You can help improve life for rural Africans by giving
your
time, making a cash donation or a non-monetary donation.
Cash donations can be a one time payment or a monthly (or quarterly) amount.
For donations up to $50, see the $1 a day list of projects. Your
time |
| If you would like to donate your time, please contact us at
info@connectswiss.com or
click here if you want to volunteer in
Kenya.
Non-monetary
donations
The most useful
posted donations are English books. We are able to use them
in our education programmes. However, we don't encourage
posting other supplies from overseas as there is a fairly
large import duty on most items (books are exempt). Clothes
are taxed nearly $3 per item and can be bought locally very
cheaply. The same applies to most medicines and second-hand
items, but these can be brought to Kenya by visitors. If you
have items which you think would be useful to any of the
projects, please contact info@connectswiss.com
