Start a Giving Group
FORGE wants to work with committed, self-motivated students and community members to pursue our goal of helping to end the cycle of war and poverty in Africa. Your school, college, or community group can help us do this by signing up to lead a FORGE Giving Group. FORGE Giving Groups have two objectives: to support and to provide education. By choosing to support one of FORGE's ongoing community development projects, your Giving Group sustains the work of many refugees who are affecting social change in their communities by running libraries, computer technology centers, preschools, health education programs, and refugee rights advocacy projects. Working with FORGE in this capacity also provides the unique opportunity to communicate directly with the refugee staff running the project that you are supporting through letter writing and email.
When students and community members become interested in participating, FORGE provides a Giving Group resource kit. The kit provides complete guidelines and suggestions for educating your local community about the international refugee crisis, as well as tips and ideas for hosting fund-raising events to harness support. If you are interested in starting a group, please contact us at info@FORGEnow.org and feel free to download the FORGE Giving Group Flier to learn more.
