How to turn our donors into partners

In any successful organization today, donors are deemed as an integral part of their activities day in and day out.

Afri-Lift has had the privilege of working with faithful donors constantly supporting us in numerous ways with different projects.  Thanks to this partnership with our donors work has been made easier, wonderful progress has been witnessed and lives have been changed.
Currently Afri-Lift has five ministries: Riziki Child Assistance, Osiligi Training Center, Touch a Family, Training of Teachers and Manyota Street Outreach Program.

We want to turn our donors to partners

 

The Oxford English dictionary defines a partner as a person who takes part in an undertaking with another or others, especially in a business or firm with shared risks and profits.  Afri-Lift seeks to see to it that our donors turn to partners to see to it that our mission, to see the children and adults of Africa reach their God given potential by lifting, guiding and mobilizing them, is reached.

 So, how do we help our donors turn to partners?

Prayer

A.J Gordon, an American Baptist preacher once said “You can do more than pray, after you have prayed, but you can never do more than pray until you have prayed.”

We encourage our donors to constantly support us in prayer over this organization and what we do. Those countless prayers have moved the heavens and changed many lives by touching the hearts of the young people that we serve here in Kenya.

Give

Presently, the world is experiencing different financial pressure from all sides that has affected many of the decisions and sacrifices we make concerning our lifestyles. Our donors have been faithfully supporting us in monetary terms and this has paid fees, bought uniforms, fed families, built training centers and most important of all spread the Gospel.

The donors may not be with us physically wherever we go but through their support we are making a difference

Visit and be part of us

Donors are encouraged to join us and see what their support is doing.  

Many of the donors who have visited and participated in the various activities we have going on have left this country with transformed in a bigger way.

Write a letter to your child

Here in Afri-Lift we ensure that the sponsor hears from the children thrice a year to ensure there is constant communication between the two sides.  The best part is when the children get to hear from their sponsor, this makes their day. We encourage our sponsors to regularly keep in touch with the children. The is a Swahili saying ‘barua ni nusu ya kuonana’ this means that a letter makes the distance shorter and is halfway to seeing each other. 

Where would we be without you?

Imagine one of your children, nephew, nieces, grandchildren or your friend’s children go without a meal, in deep need of clothes or addicted to drugs and have no way out. Wouldn’t you go to any length to help them?

Children should be  given the chance to reach their God- given potential

That’s what our partners have done so far and greater things are still yet to come. We here in Kenya believe that the good things that you do will never go unrewarded whether here on earth and someday in the new world. Thank you for the support so far.

Let’s make this world a better place.
