Make a contribution by celebrating

On special occasions such as birthdays, weddings or the birth of a child, we like to celebrate with family and friends. But sometimes we ask ourselves: “What should I wish for? I have everything and I don’t need anything. What if we shared our happiness and asked for donations for really important things instead of gifts?”

By making a donation to DSW, you will be demonstrating your commitment to sustainable population development and giving young people in East Africa a reason to celebrate: thanks to your support, they have more freedom of choice!

How does it work

Set up a donation box at your event.

Advantages:

  1. We will send you information material to display at the event.
  2. We will personally advise you on how your donation will be used.
  3. You will receive a donation receipt for the full amount.

Please mention our donation account on the invitation and choose a keyword (e.g. “Manuela’s birthday”) so that we can allocate the donations. Alternatively, you can use our online donation form. You can also print the link as a QR code (www.dsw.org/en/donate/) on your invitations. Tell us your donation keyword (e.g. “Manuela’s Birthday”) and ask your guests to write it in the comments field on the online donation form.
