the kanga project does not have any paid staff and relies a great deal on volunteers to help raise funds and telling others about the work we do. Without our donors and volunteers we would not exist, so the kanga project is not just the pride and joy of its trustees, it is theirs too.
We are going to be putting up Just Giving fundraising pages for all our projects. We think it will help all those of you who would like to fundraise for us but find it hard to inspire others in a few short strokes. All you will need to do is communicate the link to all the people you know. So put a link below your email address or work address (if allowed). Put a link on your facebook profile, tweet it, email it, paste it, even sing it. Well you don’t know who might be listening. Click here for our first project page for a biogas system. You really could make a big difference without even trying. Thank you.
There are also so many ways you can become one of us. How about trying one today? or even suggesting one?

The following site is a goldmine for ideas. Whatever idea you pick to fun(d)raise, we will do our best to help you; just let us know what you need. But remember, we are a tiny charity, so we don’t have bags of marketing material. We have a poster for printing and a few T-shirts you can borrow.
If you have the experience of putting up great (profitable) events or are full of confidence and want to do something sizeable, we’ll be happy to discuss it with you. Just get in touch.
