Fundraising is important to us at Jengana as we are reliant on donations to run the projects.
We are very thankful to our monthly donors who give us confidence to continue our work and take on some new projects. One-off donations are also an excellent boost – be assured that we appreciate each one, whether large or small.
Outside of these donations, we rely on supporters organising fundraisers which are great for us financially and also raise awareness of our work.
As a small charity, we have minimal overheads and are therefore able to use almost all of each £1 we receive on the ground in Kenya.
A lot of fundraising in carried out by team members before their trip but we would appreciate anyone, at any time of the year, organising an event for Jengana.
Some ideas are:
We are also always looking for anyone with an interest or talent in the area of fundraising/PR who would be able to join our team to help in this way.
Please do contact us at fundraising@jengana.com with any ideas for fundraising or if you could get involved. Also please let us know if you are organising a fundraiser and need some materials such as leaflets or buckets.
By supporting Jengana you’re part of a community of people both in Kenya and Northern Ireland who are determined to make positive and lasting change in Kenya.
I’ve been fortunate to travel with Jengana three times, each experience has been humbling, exciting and life changing in every sense.
We have no doubt that the work of Jengana is life changing. We have seen it first-hand.
It was a very worthwhile experience and a privilege to have been involved with Jengana Teams and to see and hear how so many lives have been changed and given hope for the future.
It was an opportunity to show that we care.
It was amazing to be able to experience for myself the work God is doing through Jengana.
We could see money being well spent, churches working together and people learning about God.
The significant impact being made on the lives of many individuals in Kenya due to the work of Jengana was evident.
Our first-hand experience was life-changing for our family.
I will always remember the gratefulness of the families we visited in the slums with food parcels. That food came when they had so little to eat. How humbling when they prayed for us and praised God for the food!
The people that I met on this trip have totally changed my perspective on life and poverty and their joy and trust in God throughout hardship was truly inspirational.
If you would like any more information on the work of Jengana, to ask any questions, or to get involved, we would love to hear from you.
