Volunteers can fundraise for their trip to cover the program costs and also raise extra funds for KCFs work. This can lead to a more fulfilling trip as you will be able to see how the money raised is being spent and report back to your friends and family on the impact it has made. We ask Project Future Light volunteers to fundraise a set amount for the project before their trip. Please see below for some ideas for fundraising.

Some Fundraising Ideas

  • Climb Mount Kilimanjaro for KCF. (Please contact us for more information)
  • Have a fundraising event or party with an entrance charge.
  • Organise a raffle and try and get the prizes donated.
  • Set up an online fundraising page and share it with your friends and family by email and social media.
  • Research local civic groups such as Rotary and Lions, or other special-interest groups who might be interested in sponsoring you.
  • Ask your local church, mosque, synagogue, etc. if they would be willing to hold a special collection for you.
  • Have a bake sale at work or in your local community.
  • Partner with your local supermarket and pack bags for donations.
  • Arrange a fun quiz night.
  • Have a clothing sale party and sell some clothes you do not wear anymore.
  • Look for sponsorship from local businesses in your area.
  • Buy some lollipops, put a thank you note on them and sell them to your neighbours, friends, family and work colleagues.
  • Making an article in a famous newspaper.

What to Bring

This will vary from person to person for personal items, but we do recommend you bring the following: travel insurance details, personal medications, insect repellent and sun cream, malaria prophylaxis pills.

Bringing Resources

We are always very grateful for any resources volunteers can bring with them or buy them once in Moshi. The needs include:

  • Educational and reading books, posters, colouring pencils, crayons, stationary, colouring books, balloons, bubbles, balls and toys.
  • Sport and games equipment such as slides, swings…

Note that all these items can be bought from local shops/stationeries here at good prices if people should avoid disturbances of carrying luggage.
