Challenge events and sports

This works better for runners, parachute jumpers cyclists, swimmers, climbers sports betters or those for sponsored walks. Invite your family and friends to take part in your fundraiser for your special cause in Uganda through FREDAfrica. By doing all that, it will help to raise funds for any of FREDAfrica’s community projects to help improve the lives of people in Uganda.

Birthday fundraising

Your birthday is the perfect way to do some extra fundraising throughout the year and is a great way to get your friends involved too. Instead of being flourished with gifts, ask your friends and family to donate to any of FREDAfrica’s community projects in Uganda. 

Open up a shop.

Collect staff such as used chairs, cameras, clothes, computers, and others items that can be sold from the FREDAfrica community goodwill shop. Here you will be selling used items at cheaper price for the reasons of raising funds for FREDAfrica community project to help in improving lives of needy people in Uganda.

Clothes swaps and sales

Do some good for the planet while also raising money for FREDAfrica’s community projects. Sell some of your unwanted clothes on Vinted or eBay in the name of charity. You could also host a clothes swap and encourage people at your university, workplace or school to bring a bag of clothes, and have your own pop-up charity shop for the day! You could charge people via a weigh and pay, or just charge for entry to your shop. Any leftover items can be sold in a car boot sale – double whammy!

Give a talk to your local community

Ask your local church, rotary club, WI or Soroptimists if they will make a donation to your fundraising target, in exchange for you giving them a talk about the work that we do. Check on our website page and go to projects, it will show up all required community projects that need hand to continue impacting rural needy communities in Uganda

Coffee morning 

Bake some cakes, and organize for a coffee talk about FREDAfrica and the how we make a difference in lives of many local Ugandans mainly from rural communities. Here we can work hand in hand with you to create FREDAfrica’s power point activities to share with all your colleagues and family. They will all need to give a hand to your cause.

Community events: Fairs and sports days

Ask your head teacher, student union or boss if you can use a hall, a field or even a car park and let your imagination run wild. Go old school and set up a coconut shy, apple bobbing stand, egg-and-spoon race and a jumble sale. You can also try organize for relex chapatis ranging from ordinary, medium and super sizes. For those who volunteered with us in Uganda, am sure you understand what rolex chapatis are.

Host a film night

Stage a film screening. See if you can borrow a projector from your school or workplace, hang a sheet, choose your film, make some posters and away you go – provide popcorn and ice cream and ask people to pay a small amount to view a blockbuster. Why not choose a film based in Uganda mainly from FREDAfrica’s communities. We can send you videos of your particular project you are fundraising for and how it will impact Uganda’s communities. 

Talent showcase

Celebrate your friends’ hidden talents by putting on a talent show, and charge a small donation for family and friends to come and watch or even perform via a livestream on Facebook or Instagram. Where you stage it is up to you – whether it’s online, at school, down the pub or in your garden. You’ll have a laugh and raise money at the same time! 

Themed dinner party 

Grab your pans and a few ingredients and prepare to tantalise tastebuds with a themed menu fundraiser.  Try your hands at making an African dinner locally, teach how to make rolex, Vegetables or whatever is your favorite cuisine. Charge your guests a fee for the pleasure. 

Quiz night 

Fingers on buzzers, it’s time for a quiz! Get the competitive juices flowing and raise a chunk of money in the process by hosting a charity quiz for FREDAfrica. 

Bake sale 

Victoria sponge, brownies, cupcakes and more! Bake sales always go down a treat. Add a competitive element by asking colleagues to bake their favorite sponge for the title of ‘star baker’.   

FREDAfrica Beads of Joy project.

Ask your school management team, workmates, colleagues and family for your crafts fundraiser. Remind them that all beads are made from recycling papers and are all handmade necklaces and beads. You can also volunteer to sell them from the community markets especially for the cause of enabling rural Ugandan women pay fees for their children, have at least 3 meals a day and to afford other for day to day needs of life.
