Trusts, foundations and major gifts

We'd love to work with trusts, foundations and individuals who share our vision and values, from small family trusts to large organisations. We believe in long-term partnerships that bring real change for street children.

Why support Laughter Africa?

5,000+

Since 2015, we've reached over 5,000 street children in Freetown

100%

of our UK work is carried out by volunteers

2026

The Government said it would repeal the loitering law

Trusted

Over 30 trusts and foundations have funded our work

Every penny you give goes to our work with children in Sierra Leone. The only costs in the UK are bank and card charges. All our UK work is run by volunteers, so there are no UK salaries or offices to pay for. We stay for the long haul: once a child goes home, we keep paying school fees and stay in touch for years. And in 2026, our campaigning with the children helped persuade the Government of Sierra Leone to say it would repeal the loitering law.
