Donations & Giving
How can I donate?
You can give a one-time or monthly gift through our Donation Form, or explore Current Campaigns for specific projects to support.
How is my donation used?
Gifts go toward our two core programs — the Mbome Scholarship Program and the Haven Project — covering things like tuition, school supplies, meals, and mentorship, depending on where the need is greatest.
Can I sponsor a specific scholar?
Yes. Many supporters choose to fund a student's full journey through the Mbome Scholarship Program. Reach out through our Contact page and our team will walk you through it.
Do you accept in-kind donations?
We do, including school supplies, food, and clothing. Get in touch through our Contact page and we'll help coordinate a drop-off or pickup.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
This depends on your country and local tax regulations. Please contact us directly and we can provide the documentation you'd need for your specific situation.
The Mbome Scholarship
Who is eligible for the scholarship?
We identify students from impoverished backgrounds who show academic promise, working closely with local schools to find those who need support the most.
What does the scholarship cover?
Full, holistic support — including tuition, books, accommodation, and one-on-one mentorship — so scholars can focus on their studies.
How are scholars selected?
Through partnerships with local schools and community members in Limbe, who help us identify students who combine strong academic performance with real financial need.
Can I apply for a scholarship?
Reach out through our Contact page with details about your situation, and our team will follow up on next steps.
The Haven Project
Who does the Haven Project serve?
Orphans and children at risk in Limbe — no child should have to walk alone, and Haven exists to be a comprehensive safety net for them.
What kind of support does Haven provide?
Three main areas: educational support (school fees, uniforms, books, tutoring), nutritional support (balanced meals and supplements), and psychosocial care (counseling, mentorship, and safe spaces to heal and play).
How can I support Haven specifically?
You can donate directly toward Haven, or reach out about volunteering — mentors and tutors are always welcome. Visit our Projects page to learn more.

Can my business or organization partner with you?
