Donations

Every day we try our best to help our communities to help themselves. But sometimes it’s just not enough. Being a small grassroots organisation with no major sources of funding, our options are limited. The only way we have to keep the Foundation going is via private donations.

Help us to create possibilities in places where there’s only dust and broken dreams. Donate to us, ask for a donation instead of a Christmas or birthday present, or hold a fundraiser in your local community group. We can help with ideas!
Donate money
You can donate using a bank transfer in Colombian pesos, US dollars, pounds or euro. Please contact us for our international bank details.

Here are some examples of how your donation could be used:
  • Fruit for 50 kids $10 USD
  • 2 drums for the music class $20 USD
  • Shoes for 20 students $50 USD
  • English workbooks for 40 students $100 USD


Buy a t-shirt!

A great way to help us is to buy a t-shirt, water bottle or keyring from our online cafepress store. All the profits go straight to the Foundation, and the t-shirts look pretty cool too. We even have baby clothes!

Donate supplies 
You can also donate supplies. If you are planning to volunteer with us or simply visiting Santa Marta, we welcome donations of school supplies, musical instruments, books, sports equipment, clothing, or medical supplies. 


We encourage donors to buy these items locally whenever possible (all the above are easily available in the city) to support the economy of Santa Marta. If in doubt as to the availability of the supplies you'd like to donate, please contact us.

Sponsor a child

You can sponsor a child in need in Santa Marta. Your small contribution will go a long way. The money you send will pay for school supplies, clothes, food, and medicine for your sponsor child and his or her family! We will send you photos of your child, progress updates, and letters.

If you would like to help with a larger donation or by sponsoring a child, or have any questions about how donations are administered or spent, please email us.

We have three types of sponsorships:
  • One-Time Donation: $12.00 USD
  • Six-Month Sponsorship: $37.00 USD
  • One-Year Sponsorship: $74.00 USD
