Testimonials
"Sometimes, fundraising is not about money. In-kind resources can be just what you need. Change the Game Academy changed my thinking about fundraising. I thought that fundraising could only be done from rich countries, but now I know that it can also be done successfully locally."
Andrew Buhungiro, director of KADOLHA (Uganda)
"Local fundraising is fun, it is creative, it connects you with your stakeholders. What I like the most, is the idea of 'friend-raising'. We find sponsors that support us with ICT: laptops, mouses, internet, that's of great help to our students."
