Here are some suggestions of how you can make a difference and inspire others.
Speaker Series
Get a group of friends together and invite us to join you. We have speakers who can talk about their experiences in Rwanda or other parts of Africa and what happens to the money donated to Inspire!Africa. Speakers will have pictures and lots of stories to share and will be happy to accept your donations.
Gift Cards
Are you looking for a meaningful gift for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, Christmas or other occasions. INSPIRE!africa has beautifully designed gift cards available for any dollar amount.
Volunteer
INSPIRE!africa is looking for people interested in the following work experience:
-
Teacher
Volunteer teachers are needed in the areas of English and computer and business skills for the Learning Centre in Kigali and the Community Centre in Nyamata.
Volunteers will be responsible for their own costs including, flight to Rwanda (approximately $2500 CAD from Canada) and room and board (approximately $60/day CAD) however we can provide you with some useful information for planning your trip. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact us and include information about yourself including your skills and experience which would make you suitable for this type of work, why you want to volunteer with us, when you are available to travel, how long you would like to stay and where you currently live.

- Cheques should be made payable to Inspire!Africa and sent to the address below.
- On-line donations will be available in the near future.
- To minimize administrative costs, in-kind donations for printing or office materials are always appreciated.
Childrens Book
Purchase a copy of The Presents' Presents, a children's book about ethical giving where INSPIRE!africa is featured. The Presents' Presents is a true compelling story of small Rae who makes the shift from wanting more and more presents to understanding the happiness that comes from "wanting" or "having" is not a lasting happiness. Rae and her friends learn that giving and feeling connected to others brings them more joy as they use their birthdays to raise money for worthy causes.
Sponsor Students
We are looking for sponsors to support orphans of the genocide to complete their secondary school education or attend university in Rwanda. This involves a commitment of 3-4 years depending on the student's program and costs vary. If you are interesting in knowing more about this, please contact us.
