  • I would like to raise funds for Sparkle, how can I send you the money that is raised?

  • When I sponsor a child, am I sponsoring a specific named child?

    Sparkle does not offer named individual sponsorships. Instead, we offer a collective sponsorship where individually adapted solutions are provided for all of the children in our nursery programme. Our sponsorship program is ethical and responsible. It does not pick favourites to the detriment of other children, but instead makes sure that all children are treated equally and have the same opportunities to build their future. 

  • Can I choose to donate money to a specific programme or site?

    All donations are allocated to our general funds which means no programme or site is given priority over another. If the needs of our beneficiaries change, then we are able to adapt our services to meet this change. This approach ensures our work meets the changing needs of the communities in which we operate. 

  • Who do I contact if I have a question or issue with my donation?

    Please contact admin@sparklemalawi.org to discuss any further questions and we will be pleased to help you.  

  • Can I donate clothes and equipment?

    Unfortunately, we are unable to accept donations of clothes and equipment sent from abroad, as this would be an unsustainable form of donation. Donations by in-country organisations and donors are welcomed, to discuss in-country donations please contact admin@sparklemalawi.org 

  • I don’t live in the UK, can I still donate to Sparkle?

    Yes! You can donate online directly from the Donate button on our website. Alternatively, do please contact admin@sparklemalawi.org for our bank details.  

  • Where does Sparkle get its funding?

    Sparkle’s work is entirely funded by the generosity of people across the world and our partners in the private sector. For more information, you can read our latest financial report.
