Fundraise For Us

We’re always delighted when our supporters choose to raise funds for us.

There are lots of different ways you can raise money for Dreamland Mission, from cake sales to challenge events.  Whatever your interests, you can use them to help the people of Kimilili have a better quality of life, access to health care services and education.  Have a look at our A-Z of fundraising ideas or come up with your own.  Remember that you don’t have to do it alone – recruiting friends, family and members of your church or community group will make it more enjoyable for yourself and have a bigger impact in Kenya.
