Another way to give
Send goods, not money
Some of what these women need is a thing, not a sum. A sewing machine. A freezer. A box of school books. If you would rather send an item than a card payment, here is where it goes.

Please tell us what is coming before you post it, using the form below. It lets us tell you what is most needed right now, and means nothing arrives that we cannot use or ship on.
What actually helps
Sewing and tailoring
Machines, treadle or electric. Fabric, thread, scissors, patterns.
Hair and beauty
Dryers, clippers, unopened product, a full starter kit.
Trade equipment
Grinding machines, deep freezers, generators, weighing scales.
School
Exercise books, pens, uniforms, backpacks, unopened stationery.
Clothing
Clean, wearable adult and children's clothing. Nothing torn or stained.
Technology
Working phones and laptops, wiped, with chargers.
Please do not send
Food or anything perishable, medicines, or worn-out clothing. Shipping something to Nigeria that then has to be thrown away costs us more than it gives.
One thing worth knowing
Goods posted to the US address are consolidated and shipped on to Abuja, and freight and customs are real costs. For light, low-value items a card gift very often does more good per pound spent than the same money spent on postage. For equipment, sending the thing itself is usually the better deal. If you are unsure which yours is, ask us — we will tell you honestly.
