When it comes to charitable giving, the impact of your donation is paramount. At Lily For The Congo, we ensure every penny of your contribution goes directly towards supporting the children. Unlike larger charities, we don't allocate funds for extensive admin costs or expensive marketing materials. Here’s why donating to a small charity like ours is a win-win for everyone involved.
Direct Impact on Lives
Every donation to Lily For The Congo has a direct and tangible impact on the lives of vulnerable children in DR Congo. Our primary focus is on meeting their educational, emotional, practical, and spiritual needs. By contributing to our cause, you are directly funding school fees, providing nutritious meals, and ensuring access to medical care. Your money goes exactly where it is needed most.
Transparency and Trust
We pride ourselves on our transparency. With no funds diverted towards administrative overheads or glossy marketing campaigns, donors can trust that their money is making a real difference. Our small team and dedicated volunteers ensure that every donation is used efficiently and effectively, allowing us to maximise the support we provide to the children.
How to sponsor a child
One of the unique advantages of donating to Lily For The Congo is the opportunity to build a connection with the children you are helping. You and your friend or family member could sponsor two sisters or cousins over in Congo. It is similar to building a community of help and support for those that need it. This not only enriches the lives of the children but also provides sponsors with a deeper understanding of the impact of their support. You can sponsor a child simply by committing to a regular monthly payment with Lily For the Congo.
Supporting Education and Future Growth
Education is a powerful tool for breaking the cycle of poverty. By sponsoring a child through Lily For The Congo, you are investing in their future. Your support helps cover school fees, provides educational materials, and ensures a supportive learning environment. With education, these children gain the knowledge and skills they need to build a brighter future for themselves and their communities.
Community Focus
Small charities like ours are deeply rooted in the communities we serve. We have close relationships with our contacts on the ground, such as Brother Isaac Umba Mbaya, a church pastor in Kinshasa who, as well as his duties at the church helps us by paying the schools and updating us with information about the children. This community-focused approach ensures that we understand the specific needs and challenges of the children and can tailor our support to be most effective.
Why It's a Win-Win
For Donors: The satisfaction of knowing your donation has a direct, meaningful impact; and the assurance that funds are used efficiently.
For Children: Access to education, nutritious food, medical care, and emotional and spiritual support; the chance to feel valued and supported.
