Corporate organisations
Corporate social investment, employee volunteering, in-kind support and cause-aligned partnerships.
Partnerships
Together, we can rebuild a household.
Charity works best in partnership. We work with organisations and individuals who want their giving to reach a real household — a widow's business, a child's schooling, a family in crisis — and to see exactly where it went.
Why Partner With Us
A credible partner with a clear focus
Partners look for three things: a clear purpose, credible delivery and honest reporting. We are building this foundation around all three, and we are open about where we are in that journey.
Partnership with Pillars of Progress and Developmental Foundation gives you direct access to women, widows and schools in our communities, a practical programme model, and reporting that lets you trace your contribution to a specific household.
- A sharply defined mission: women, widows and less privileged children
- Community-rooted delivery through schools and local associations
- Transparent governance and careful stewardship of charitable funds
- Regular, honest reporting on what your support achieved
Who We Work With
Partners and collaborators
We welcome collaboration across sectors. Each partnership is designed around shared objectives, clear roles and measurable outcomes.
Schools and training centres
Identification of children at risk of dropping out, and vocational placements for women and young people.
Faith and community associations
Local knowledge, referral of widows in need, and community venues for training and outreach.
Philanthropists and individual donors
Sponsor a child's school year, fund a widow's starter pack, or support a community outreach.
International development organisations
Programme co-funding, technical collaboration and shared learning on women's economic empowerment.
NGOs and civil society
Joint delivery, referral networks and collective advocacy for widows and vulnerable children.
Government agencies
Alignment with public education and social protection programmes, and coordination at local government level.
Ways to Collaborate
Partnership opportunities
There are several ways to work with us, whether you are contributing resources, expertise or reach.
Sponsor a child's school year
Cover the fees, uniform, books and examination registration that keep one child in class for a full academic year.
Fund a business starter pack
Give a widow the opening stock, tools or equipment she needs to start trading in the trade she already knows.
In-kind support
Provide equipment, materials, sewing machines, food items, venues or professional services that strengthen delivery.
Volunteer skills and mentoring
Lend professional skills — bookkeeping, teaching, tailoring, business mentoring — to the women and young people we support.
Support an outreach
Help fund a food distribution, a medical outreach or seasonal support for families in hardship.
Research and learning
Collaborate on evidence and evaluation that improves practice for widows and out-of-school children.
How It Works
A straightforward partnership process
We keep the process simple, documented and respectful of your objectives. Every partnership begins with a conversation, not a formality.
01
Start a conversation
Share your interest, priorities and what you would like to contribute through the partnership enquiry form.
02
Explore alignment
We meet to discuss shared objectives, programme options, geography and realistic expectations.
03
Agree the framework
We document roles, resources, timelines and reporting arrangements in a simple partnership agreement.
04
Deliver and report
Programmes are delivered with regular updates, verified reporting and an honest review at the end of the cycle.
