Time & Energy
Many people choose to run, cycle or plan other challenges to help raise money for MEL. Get in touch with us today and we can offer advice and support in helping you fundraise. Caroline is usually available (within 100 miles of Ely) to give presentations to your club or organisation or school, in exchange for a donation.
Funds
All of MEL's funds now come from individuals directly with monthly donations or one-off gifts. Fundraising is unpredictable and so it is useful to have the stability of regular donations.
None of the projects completed over more than a decade could have been achieved without the support and generosity of members of the public. MEL truly makes use of every penny, so every one of them counts.
We aim provide feedback to individual donors or organisations in whatever form you want: your sponsored child / adult will write to you / email you through Caroline; Caroline will come in and bring photos, evidence of how your money was spent.

Sponsorship
Our donors and supporters sometimes wish to specify how there funds are to be used. This can usually be achieved and will be personally monitored by Caroline.
- MEL sponsors some orphans, or other students from no income families in the local secondary school, Dwasulu Community Day Secondary School. This costs approximately £30 per student per year.
- Sponsors sometimes befriend an individual and wish to support them through, for instance, a higher secondary school or a school offering specialist teaching (for the deaf) or even university, in the case of teachers.
- Specific requests on how donations are to be spent can usually be accommodated and feedback will be provided. Past requests have included: benefiting AIDs orphans (these are usually brought up by relatives, often elderly grandmothers); secondary schoolgirls; village clinics.
