- Engage friends, family & community members to help you reach the fundraising goal you set for yourself.
COVID-19 has created great challenges where we work in Ghana, especially for students that need access to equipment and connectivity to the internet to take online classes. CFA provides access to computers and training on how to use them (along with many other services), while following all necessary safety guidelines.
Take part in a well-organized, guided campaign of advocacy for youth.
All fundraisers (new and experienced) can succeed. All ages welcome. If you don’t use social media, no problem! You can use email, text, phone and other connections to spread the word. Groups and individuals welcome.
