Today's Quote

Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope... and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

Increased Local Giving

EAAG aims to increase the volume and quality of Local Giving and Resource mobilization in East Africa. In order to achieve this we shall seek to;

  • Promote legislative and policy reforms that shall provide incentives for local giving.
  • Promote and encourage an organized approach to philanthropy in East Africa.
  • Gather information regularly on forms and patterns of local giving with the aim of publishing, communicating and sharing the knowledge widely.
