Leaving a legacy to E3
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.
E3 has been around since 2002, and we want to make sure we are around for the next 20 years and more. Sadly, poverty is not an issue that will be resolved soon.
Our work is holistic, combining practical, emotional and spiritual support so people are saved, communities are transformed and God is glorified. Our partners bring hope and a future to people living in desperate circumstances.
We partner with local churches who understand the issues in their communities and how to respond in sustainable ways. We empower them to reach out to people affected by poverty, HIV and AIDS and gender-based violence. When a community owns a project, it is far more likely to succeed in the long term. Sustainable transformation happens from within, bringing dignity, hope, and real empowerment. We know this work will have an impact for generations to come.

Leaving a gift to E3 in your Will?
If you are leaving a gift to E3 in your will, please tell your E3 contact or use Contact Us and someone will be in touch so we can tell you about the difference it will make. Otherwise, please feel free to include us and we will be delighted with the surprise one day! All gifts, whatever their size, make a huge difference in the communities where we work.
Making a free online Will
In the UK, with FreeWills.co.uk, you can make a free, legally-binding Will in just 15 minutes. Each Will is checked by legal experts and your Will can be updated quickly and easily for free, forever. There’s no obligation to leave a gift to E3, but we hope you will so we can continue our vital work. Alternatively, you could use a solicitor or a different Will service.
Living Legacies
One of our supporters gave a Living Legacy to E3. He was writing his Will and realised that he would rather give the money to us now so it could be Gift Aided and he could see the difference his money made. We used it to help build a preschool in South Africa so his gift will make a difference now and for generations to come. It was wonderful to update him on the project before he died.

All of our partners’ projects are developed with sustainability in mind and have a lasting impact. For example:
• Supporting orphaned and vulnerable children through school and university so they can complete their education, grow in confidence, follow their career dreams and escape the cycle of poverty.
• Creating microfinance groups so people receive training, save and access loans and start small businesses so they can afford to support their families. As loans are repaid other people in need can join.
• Building a health clinic, children’s centre or preschool to improve infrastructure in a community and create a space that will help bring hope and practical support to people now and in future generations.
