Fundraise for us
There are so many ways that you can help us by fundraising - host a party, a club night, a film night or swim the channel!
Make sure you set yourself a Just Giving page set up if you are planning on fundraising for us, we’ll be notified straight away and we can cheer you on!
Whether you’re entering a pre-organised marathon or holding a workshop we’re happy to support you in anyway we can. Please get in touch if we can be of assistance.
Donate fabric and sewing equipment to Awamu
If you are thinking of having a spring clean and you have cotton fabric (or any natural fabric) to give away, please consider donating it to us.
We can use for it training or transform it into something stunning to raise money to help more women and children. We need:
Fabric - especially plain cotton fabrics, cord, canvas and denim.
All sewing equipment can be found a new home where it will be loved and used.
Please get in touch if you can help.
Donate your old digital camera or audio equipment
If you’ve upgraded & have any old or unused digital cameras perhaps you would consider donating them to us. Our women’s groups in Kampala really needs them to help keep records of children’s progress, gather evidence to protect them & feedback to funders.
We use audio equipment to train children how to research, produce, present, record, edit and broadcast radio shows and podcast.
