BLESS ANOTHER FAMILY
This year, we are offering an additional opportunity for you to bless other families in our program. Our goal is to ensure every family in our program has access to electricity. Last year, we blessed over 100 families with electricity, a huge success! This year, we want to complete our goal and bless the remaining 35 families without access to electricity.
The Basic Solar Light provides a sustainable light source inside Maasai homes, which don't get much natural light. They also serve as portable chargers that can power and charge small devices, such as phones. For $22, you can go above and beyond and bless a family with access to basic electricity!
FAQ
How do I give the same gift to all the families I partner with?
-
Let's say you partner with two families and want to give both families a Gift Voucher and Blanket. In the cart function, you would check the box next to "Gift Voucher" and the box next to "Blanket", then type "2" in the box next to "How many of each?".
​
How do I give different gifts to the families I partner with?
-
Let's say you partner with two families and want to give one family 2 blankets and the other family 1 backpack with school supplies. To do this, you would need to submit two transactions. For the first one, you would check the box next to "Blanket", then type "2" in the box next to "How many of each?". In the notes section, you can specify which family this gift goes to by adding their family ID (ex. FP Mpoke 1234). For the second transaction, check the box next to "Backpack and School Supplies," then type "1" in the box next to "How many of each?". In the notes section, you can specify which family this gift goes to by adding their family ID.
How/when are the gifts distributed to the families?
-
After Christmas, we compile all the gift information and send it to AfricaHope. They then purchase all the gifts from local vendors and distribute them in late January-early February.
​
Why do you emphasize that the gifts are sourced locally?
-
Sourcing gifts locally is important to us and aligns with the heart of our program: helping people overcome extreme poverty. By sourcing locally, we support the local vendors, which keeps the funding in the community and lifts the local economy. ​
