Donate your birthday

Turn your special day into a life-changing opportunity. Instead of receiving gifts this year, you can make a real difference for people living in some of the world’s poorest communities. By donating your birthday to SCIAF, your friends and family can support life-saving projects that provide clean water, food, education and healthcare where it’s needed most.

All money raised in honour of your special day will help fund SCIAF’s projects across the world, reaching our poorest brothers and sisters and providing hope for a brighter future.

There are three quick and easy ways to donate your birthday to SCIAF:

1. Birthday fundraiser

Set up your own online birthday fundraiser in just a few clicks. Invite your friends, family and colleagues to donate instead of giving presents.

How it works:

• Create a birthday fundraiser page on JustGiving or Facebook.
• Share your page with friends and family.
• Watch the donations roll in and make a real difference!

2. Birthday donation

You could make a birthday donation to SCIAF in your own name to mark your special day.

3. Real Gifts

Instead of presents, ask your friends and family to give Real Gifts through SCIAF. These gifts provide essential items and services, such as clean water, chickens, or school kits, to people who need them most.

Why donate your birthday?

Here’s how your special day can make a real difference:

• Provide life-changing support: clean water, food, healthcare, shelter and education to families living in poverty.
• Inspire others to take action: encourage your friends and family to come together for a cause that truly matters.
• Create a lasting legacy by turning your birthday into support that continues to help families long after the day itself.
