HOW YOU CAN HELP

Making a Big Difference with a Small Charity

At Let Them Shine, we're not a giant organisation with a hefty overhead. We're a passionate group, literally running things from our kitchen tables! As they say, it takes a village, and we need your financial support to ensure we can continue to care for the children at the Centre. Our dedicated trustees ensure 100% of your donation goes directly to supporting the children at our pre-school Centre in Tanzania.

Making a Big Difference with a Small Charity

At Let Them Shine, we're not a giant organisation with a hefty overhead. We're a passionate group, literally running things from our kitchen tables! As they say, it takes a village, and we need your financial support to ensure we can continue to care for the children at the Centre. Our dedicated trustees ensure 100% of your donation goes directly to supporting the children at our pre-school center in Tanzania. 

Why Choose Let Them Shine?

  • Your Impact is Maximized: No administrative fees eat away at your contribution. Every penny goes towards the children's education, healthcare, and well-being.

  • Direct Connection: You're supporting a small, focused charity, ensuring your contribution makes a tangible difference in the lives of a specific group of children.

  • Passionate Volunteers: Our team is driven by a deep commitment to these children, not salaries.

We're Different from Large Charities:

We understand you have choices when it comes to giving. Unlike bigger organizations, we offer a unique opportunity to be part of a close-knit community, directly impacting the lives of the children we serve.

We Need Your Help - Every Penny Makes a Powerful Difference

At Let Them Shine, we believe every child deserves a chance to thrive. Our pre-school Centre in Tanzania provides a safe haven for over 50 children, offering them the essential building blocks for a brighter future – education, healthcare, and nutritious meals. Whether you make a one-time donation or arrange an ongoing sponsorship, there are several ways you can get involved and support our work.

The Power of Your Unrestricted Gift:

Unrestricted donations to our general fund are the lifeblood of Let Them Shine. Your unrestricted donation allows us to address the center's most pressing needs, ensuring every child receives the care and resources they deserve. Whether it's updating educational materials, providing nutritious meals, or maintaining our facilities, your contribution makes a real difference.

Sponsor a Child, Change a Future:

For a deeper connection, consider sponsoring a specific child! For just £25 a month, you'll directly invest in their well-being, fostering their educational journey and ensuring they have access to vital healthcare. Witnessing their progress and knowing you're making a tangible difference in their life is an incredibly rewarding experience.

Together, We Can Shine Brighter:

With your support, regardless of your choice to contribute to the general fund or sponsor a child, we can accommodate more children seeking a safe and nurturing environment. Every contribution, big or small, brings us closer to making a lasting impact on their lives and the future of Tanzania.

At Let Them Shine, we believe that even the smallest contributions can spark a lifetime of change. Here's why your ongoing monthly donation, even at just £5, is critical to our success:

  • Predictable Support: Consistent monthly donations allow us to plan effectively and ensure our children have access to essential resources throughout the year.

  • Collective Impact: When many individuals give a little, it adds up to a significant force for good. Your £5, combined with others, provides nutritious meals, educational materials, and healthcare for our children.

  • Unlocks Matching Opportunities: Some corporate donors match employee contributions, so your £5 can potentially be doubled, maximizing your impact.

Of course, any amount you can contribute above £5 is deeply appreciated! Here's how your increased generosity can make a difference:

  • £10 a month: Provides essential school supplies for a child for a year.

  • £25 a month: Sponsors a child, giving them access to education, healthcare, and nutritious meals.

  • £50 a month: Helps us upgrade educational materials or provide specialised healthcare services.

No matter the amount, your ongoing support is vital. Become a champion for our children and fuel their bright futures. Donate today and join the Let Them Shine family
