Donate money online
We provide our members with the financial services and training necessary to grow their businesses. We train our Groups in literacy, numeracy, basic business skills and how to begin saving a little each month. Donations used in our programmes provide the communities with simple bank accounts and business training for the first time. If you choose to donate money online your payment will be securely processed by Enthuse. Learn how we use your donation by clicking here. Please email info@fivetalents.org.uk if you would like your monthly or one-off gift to be allocated to a specific project.
Become a monthly giver
We encourage all of our supporters to consider making monthly donations. It allows us to plan for the future and lets us evaluate how many programmes we can start during any given year. See below how much small monthly donations can add up to support our programmes.
£3 p/m
covers the cost of one Savings Group member to access a safe place to save and loan money alongside literacy, numeracy and business skills training for one year.
£8 p/m
covers the cost of one literacy, numeracy or business training session enabling our partner staff to visit a community and provide mentoring, support and skills training.
£20 p/m
covers the daily salary of one of our partner staff who will form Savings Groups, deliver training and give mentoring and oversight to entrepreneurs.
£50 p/m
covers the cost of training one Project Officer. Each Officer trains around 300 members per year to expand their businesses and equip them to build a brighter future.
One-off donations
One-off donations will allow us to continue supporting our country programmes. We appreciate every penny that our supporters generously donate. Whilst we happily accept cheques and cash, when you donate money to charity online it allows us to minimise the amount of admin, meaning that your generosity has the greatest impact. If you’d like to donate online please click here and change the drop down menu to “one-off.”
Join a Giving Group
If you have a heart for a particular project - we’d love you to join one of our Giving Groups. After a time-limited period of funding (typically five years) our programmes become fully self-sustaining without financial support from Five Talents. You (and your friends, family, company, church, social club etc.) can join a Giving Group - pledging to give an annual donation to a programme until it becomes fully self-sustaining. When you pledge money to a programme we make sure you stay up to date on that programme’s progress through regular updates and, if you like, project visits. You'll have a personal connection with the programme through your Giving Group, and the incredible satisfaction of knowing you’ve helped a whole region (typically 2,500 families) move from start to sustainability. Contact us to learn more about Giving Groups - and read more about the impact you could have here.
“Five Talents has a proven track record in helping people to lift themselves out of poverty. I know, because I have seen their expansion over eight years. Now donors have a chance to invest in something more. If you commit to provide the same sum every year for five years, you can help establish a whole programme in Kenya, supporting thousands of individuals, become self-sufficient. I helped to get the first one going and lots more are planned. Five Talents needs donors who commit for five years to an investment in people’s lives, giving rural communities dignity and self-sufficency.” - Nigel Wildish, Kericho Giving Group
