How you can help – giving, praying and fundraising
Pray for E3
Prayer is vital as we look to God for guidance and inspiration in all areas of E3’s work. Praying for E3 partners on a regular basis brings you closer to the people on the ground who are training local leaders and responding to the needs in their communities.

Fundraise for E3
Fundraising activities to date have been as varied as a sponsored swim and bike ride, celebration gifts for a wedding anniversary, a fashion show, a 24-hour sponsored walk and a car rally. Whatever your idea, we will support you. You could also ask for donations in honour of a birthday, anniversary or other special occasion.
Leaving a legacy
We understand that providing for your loved ones comes first when you are making a Will, but in addition, a legacy to E3 will bring hope and a brighter future to people living in poverty in southern Africa.
Charity gifts
The perfect present for friends and family for Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries and other occasions. You will be honouring their celebration and helping change the life of someone living in poverty! There are a range of gifts at different price points.
Corporate partnerships
Whether you are considering donating or encouraging staff, suppliers and customers to fundraise for E3, we would welcome a conversation with you. Whatever level of involvement you are interested in, the promise is the same – your support will be transforming lives in southern Africa.

We strive to minimise the running costs of the charity so more of your donation can go to the work.
Over the last 20+ years, on average, 92.5% of expenditure was spent on our charitable activities. We spent only 7.5% on running costs (marketing, fundraising, admin and governance costs). These functions are essential for the effective, sustainable operation of our charity.
We're committed to minimising the marketing and fundraising costs while ensuring effective communication with our donors and prayer supporters. That's why we opt for email and social media to share impact stories and engage with our community, rather than spending on fundraising mailings and advertising. Our approach is rooted in our faith and trust in God's provision.
