Want to ensure that your business’s impact on children is positive?

Is your company looking to
create a positive impact in the lives of children and young people?

Our customised donations

  • Company donation. Your donation will not only impact the lives of children and young people positively, it will also bring you the goodwill of your partners and the general public.

  • Donations instead of gifts. With a seasonal donation customised to your requirements, make your customers, partners, and employees aware of your meaningful and sustainable commitment towards society.

  • Matching gifts. You can make a real difference together with your employees. Encourage your employees and customers to donate an amount of their choice to empower children and young people around the world and then match their donation.
