Why leave a gift to Comfort International
A gift in your will create a special legacy that will be gratefully remembered and can change the lives of many people, giving them a hope and a future.Â
You can build a lasting legacy that transforms lives by supporting Street Kids Rescue projects, Comfort Babies, Ex-Child soldiers, Female Trauma Survivors, the Central Hospital of Rusayu, Education projects, The Transformation Centre and many more.Â
Legacies can be especially helpful for larger projects and have been instrumental in the building of child soldiers’ accommodation, an income generation centre for sexual violence survivors and important milestones in building The Transformation Centre.
Donations are the biggest part of our income. We use them to fund our work, carried out by our partners, in Africa. For donations to projects (or otherwise specifically allocated), 100% of what you give goes to the project. For general donations, no less than 90-100% of what you give will go to our work in Africa. We strive to keep our costs as low as possible to maximise what we are able to send from donations and legacies to our partners.
Types of legacy gift
1. A percentage of your estate
You could leave a percentage of an estate after other expenses have been paid. This type of legacy is particularly valuable because it maintains its value regardless of inflation. Even a small percentage can make a significant impact!
2. A fixed sum
You could decide to leave a donation of a fixed sum. You may wish to update this over time to mitigate the effects of inflation.
3. A specific gift
A specific gift could include property, artwork, jewellery or stocks and shares. Comfort International could use the proceeds from these gifts in keeping with your wishes to impact the lives of so many peoples lives.
