How do I make a donation in memory of a loved one?

Giving in memory of someone special is a way of commemorating their life at a difficult time. You may want to make a donation in memory or ask for donations rather than flowers at a funeral.

Can I donate a specific item such as a goat, and how much will this cost?

Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that your donation will be used for any specific item, as we use all the money we receive where it will be as effective as it possibly can be. We are proud to say that we spent 90% of our 2022 expenditure on charitable activities.

The costs of specific items are different in each country. For example, the price of goats can vary hugely, depending on the region where the goat is being sold, and according to its breed. Farm Africa also provides training for farmers who have not kept goats before to make sure that they know how to keep them healthy. A typical cost for both the goat and the training to look after it is £60.

How do I leave a gift to Farm Africa in my Will?

Why haven't I received a thank you letter for my gift?

Farm Africa is grateful for all donations that we receive and will send a thank you letter for gifts £5 and higher unless you request otherwise. Due to administrative costs, we will not send a thank you letter for gifts less than £5 unless specifically requested.

We will happily acknowledge any value gift via email. If you would prefer to be thanked in this way please contact the Supporter Services team here or phone us on +44(0) 20 7430 0440 (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm).
