Honoring the Memory of a Relative Who Has Passed Way - Donating to a Charity

making donation to charity passing away of loved one

It's always difficult to lose a loved one - even though we know that with age they are expected to eventually pass away. It's even more difficult when their passing away is unexpected.  We grieve with you for your loss.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time as you prepare for or deal with the loss of a loved one. Our sincere condolences.

One of the ways that you can turn around this situation is to shift the focus towards turning this into an opportunity to bless and help the less fortunate. A donation will truly help someone who is living. 

People are often eager to provide flowers, food etc. and show their moral support to the family.  With this in mind, you could ask people to instead make a donation to Develop Africa, in memory or honor of your relative who has passed away. Making a donation is a meaningful way to honor the memory of a loved one.

  • You could simply direct them to our website and ask them to donate in honor of your loved one.  
  • We can optionally create a special page in his honor where we can share photos and a tribute.

This would be a great opportunity to make "lemonade from lemons".  Ths allows good to come on behalf of the name of the deceased.

 

If you inform us ahead of time, we will be sure to let you know of all donations that come in. Funds could be directed towards a cause that your loved one would have supported.  This could be for instance the education of girls microfinance / micro-credit, computer training, orphan care, planting trees
 
We can also set up a special memorial fund in honor of your deceased relative - such as a scholarship fund, help to build a new school classroom etc

Thank you for turning this opportunity into good - bringing hope and opportunity to others.  We welcome the opportunity to discuss this further with you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.
