Bequest
Provide lasting hope for children by leaving a bequest through ChildFund. A gift in your Will is an ideal way for you to continue helping the world’s poorest children.
After you have taken care of your family and loved ones in your Will, you can choose to allocate a portion of your estate as a bequest to help children through ChildFund.
You give children practical help
When you leave a bequest in your Will to help children through ChildFund, we will work hard to make sure your gift helps as many children as effectively as possible.
Any child you are sponsoring will automatically receive ongoing ChildFund support so they can realise their potential for a better life. At the same time, the benefits of your bequest will grow by helping other children in desperate need.
Your bequest can provide nutritious food, clean water supplies and medical care to make sure children can grow up healthy and strong. Schools can be built so children can have an education that equips them to lead their communities toward self-sufficiency.
You can be confident your bequest is used with as much care as you have given it.
Welcome to the ChildFund Hope Society
When you tell us you’re leaving a bequest to help children through ChildFund, you allow us to thank you properly on behalf of those children. You will be welcomed to the ChildFund Hope Society.
We’ll acknowledge your help in a special way - by planting a tree at our ChildFund project for orphans and vulnerable children in Emali, Kenya.
As your Hope Society Tree grows it will give children who have lost their mums and dads a special place they can call their own. Where they can shelter from the heat, climb branches and explore with their friends, and take time to dream what they can be.
We’ll also mark your love and care straightaway by presenting you with a Hope Society Certificate of Appreciation and a handsome lapel pin.
