Support Develop Africa Through eBay

eBay users: Here's a new way to give!  Support Develop Africa by Selling or Buying on eBay

At Develop Africa we have received a multitude of books and school supplies and we are so grateful for the outpouring of generosity.  We have a problem though....some of these wonderful supplies are sitting in our corporate headquarters instead of in the hands of the many children that desperately need these supplies....the reason is as simple as it is expensive....shipping costs.  

Please help us by donating to help cover the cost of shipping to get these supplies where they need to be.  A single drum costs over $200 to ship to Africa.   Every dollar donated gets us one step closer to getting these supplies into children's hands and we want to get ALL of them into the hands of the children that they were donated for.  

You can help us raise money to cover the expensive shipping costs by just selling the items around your home, school or business list them on eBay and donate the profits to Develop Africa, which will go toward the shipping cost of the books and school supplies that are donated to us.  You can experience shopping/selling on eBay and support Develop Africa at the same time.

 

Support Develop Africa when you shop or sell on eBay. This is made possible by the eBay for Charity program which has helped eBay buyers and sellers donate hundreds of millions of dollars to thousands of charities (and we’re one of them!)

MAKE US YOUR FAVORITE!
First, personalize your shopping experience to benefit our organization by making us your Favorite charity on eBay. This will help us more than you know.

DONATE TO US IN EBAY CHECKOUT:
By making us your Favorite, you will automatically see Develop Africa as your preferred charity when you buy anything on eBay, making it easy to add $1 or more upon checkout.

SELL YOUR ITEMS TO BENEFIT US:
Last but not least, help us instead of a thrift store: sell your used items on eBay and donate as little as 10% (1% for vehicles) or up to 100% of your sale to benefit us. When you sell, simply look for the eBay for Charity signature blue and yellow ribbon next to “Make a donation.”

Check out the benefits you’ll receive:

  • eBay will waive your Final Value Fees to the extent you donate. (e.g. donate 20% and see 20% of your Final Value Fees waived)
  • The tax credit from all of your donations is yours to keep. + Items that benefit charity sell better, as buyers trust sellers that support charity more.
  • Help the world by upcycling / recycling. Plenty of items that might otherwise end up in a landfill can be readily used by others that may not have the means to buy something new.

Feel good for doing good. 

SELL YOUR USED VEHICLE TO BENEFIT US:
Unlike other charity auto programs, you can sell your used vehicle on eBay and donate up to 100% to benefit Develop Africa. This often can result in a larger donation than the $500 or less you may receive from a dedicated charity auto program. Sell and donate the proceeds today.

 


As a Seller...
... giving from your online sales is easy! Just register with eBay, pick Develop Africa as your charity / non-profit and the percentage you want to give, and eBay Giving Works will make sure your donation gets to us.

Families in Sierra Leone face unprecedented challenges due to rising costs. Inflation makes it difficult for them to afford basic food staples such as rice, cooking oil, and onions.

Extending a helping hand can alleviate a significant burden and provide essential relief to the less fortunate.

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.
