How to Start
Contact us as soon as you start thinking about fundraising. We can share tips about how to organise and publicise your event. We can help you spread the word and give you all the materials you need to tell people about the difference they’re making in Mbale. If you’re on your own but fired up to fundraise, we can put you in touch with others who want to raise money for PONT – two heads are better than one! We have lots of experience of events and can give you advice and encouragement!
Paying in your money: If you have cash or cheques, email us for a paying in form.
Fund-raising with work colleagues? Ask if your employer will match your donations.
