What kind of world do you want to create?
A world of health
Your gift can bring good health to the most isolated parts of Ethiopia. Maybe you'd like to train up a class of midwives, or teach a whole community about the dangers of female genital mutilation, or sponsor a rural health clinic. You can be the catalyst for better health and wellbeing.

A world of education
Your gift can give every person the chance to learn. From children living on the streets, to girls forced to drop out because they lack sanitary supplies, to young adults struggling to get a foot in the door - you can be their stepping stone for a strong, independent and educated future.

A world of opportunity
Your gift can uplift and inspire women. It can mean women receive training in farming, small business, maternal health and financial management. It can mean the difference between a hungry child and a fed child. And it will change these women and children's lives forever.

A passionate teacher and beloved wife and grandmother, Mollie's legacy will live on forever in the Mollie Robbins Kindergarten.
Mollie Robbins was a passionate teacher who cared deeply about women and children getting an education, no matter where they’re from.
Sadly, Mollie passed away in 2016. But her family made a bequest in her name so that her legacy will live on forever.
The Mollie Robbins Kindergarten is currently being built in the rural town of Semera, Ethiopia. It's giving children a safe place to learn and grow so they can have the best start possible in life.
Mollie’s legacy will change the future for the next generation of kids in Ethiopia.
Imagine what yours could do.

Types of gifts you can leave in your Will
Residual gift
When you leave the remainder of your Estate to charity after you’ve taken care of your loved ones and paid out any other financial commitments. One of the most common gifts.
Confirmation Content
Percentage
When you leave a percentage or fraction of your Estate (for example, 2%) to charity. This is a fluid amount that can change based on inflation, property value and changes to your Estate over time.
Confirmation Content
Pecuniary
When you nominate a specific monetary amount or specific item to give. This could come from your bank account,
from selling assets such as
property or shares, or by bequesing a specific item/s.
Confirmation Content
Whole estate
When you give your entire Estate/everything you own to charity. For some, this is because their loved ones don't need the money; and others choose this because their family have already departed.

“I would urge people to leave a bequest in their Will. It is not difficult. You don’t have to
leave a massive amount, you can just leave whatever you can afford. I certainly did.
"If you think about what your legacy can do after you’ve gone, it’s just continuing to
support something you believe in."
Paul, on his decision to leave a gift in his Will to Ethiopiaid
