Benefits of Giving

Yes, its true: Giving offers several benefits:
 

  • Results of new study: "It is better to give than to receive:" "Regardless of how much income each person made those who spent money on others reported greater happiness, while those who spent more on themselves did not."  "Money can buy happiness — if you give it away.  Those who spent cash on others felt cheerier than those who didn't.  Read more... 
     
On Giving
"Generosity is a principle -- not an amount."
--Millie Thornton

 

  • It is better to give than to keep: There's also a portion of today's givers who see themselves as more aligned with how they give and the face of their giving. "People are starting to define themselves as how they give," he said. "There's a generation that is taking time to stand back and say, `Wow, this is where we are; let's try to change the world again.'"  Read more...

 

  • Charitable Giving Benefits Giver As Much as Receiver: In terms of physical health and happiness, study notes that people who give more charitably are 43 percent more likely to say they are “very happy” than non-givers, while non-givers are three and a half times more likely than givers to report they are “not happy at all.”  Read More..

Give the Gift of Joy This Holiday Season 🎁


You can light up a child's life in Africa this holiday season. Imagine the joy of a young girl opening her very first book or a boy receiving a backpack filled with school supplies to fuel his dreams. For many children, a holiday gift isn't just a moment of happiness – it’s a message of hope, love, and possibility.

At Develop Africa, we believe every child deserves to feel special, especially during the holidays. But for too many children in underserved communities, the season comes and goes without even a small token of celebration. With your help, we can change that.

A donation of just $25 can provide a meaningful gift – a backpack, school supplies, or even a toy – to a needy child. Your generosity will show them that someone far away cares deeply about their future and happiness.

Make this holiday season unforgettable for a child. Please donate now to our Holiday Gift for a Child campaign and be part of a life-changing moment. Together, we can spread joy, ignite hope, and make the holidays magical for children in Africa.
