This is one of the easiest ways to raise funds for some of our on-going project. Please contact us to let us know if you will participates in this year’s Food For Funds Fundraising Event(FFF).

Testimonial: in 2006, Michael & Margaret Astbury in England organised a Tea Evening and raised more than GBP 300 for our Community Education Library (CEL) Project. CEL will kick off in September 2007 and will provide over 2000 school textbooks to about 300 primary school children. Organizing an event is a great way to raise funds for the work we do as well as creating a general awareness about our work and raising more supporters. We will provide you with the necessary information you need to pass across to your guests. Contact us if you will want to organize an event to raise funds for one or more of our projects.

Testimonial: In 2007, we raised close to $3,000 from 15 donors who gathered at Arlington, USA during the first ever Food For Funds event that we orgainsed through the effort of one family – Brian & Christe Dodds. The funds were used to extend credit to 25 rural women organised in 4 credit groups in two rural communities in the the South West Province of Cameroon.
