How can you support us?
CLIC Africa’s operation is dependent on the contribution of volunteers and donations. We ensure the effective deployment of your support to enhance the transfer of knowledge and skills in a creative learning environment.
Become a volunteer
Donate your time
Are you a teacher, education professional or subject specialist and do you want to make an impact outside your own classroom or subject environment? We are looking for educators who want to share their subject-specific and pedagogical knowledge with teachers on site.
You will support your colleagues mainly by video link, together with the other volunteers of CLIC Africa. This way we can learn from each other, share knowledge and let our students grow in their subjects and field of interest.
Make a donation
Our raised funds allow us to set up our educational hubs and operate them on a daily basis. Where possible, we accept voluntary donations from our students and local learning partners – organisations, companies and institutions who subscribe their employees to our courses.
With your donations we can invest in:
- Infrastructure and various start-up costs
- IT equipment
- the digital lab
- the fabrication lab
- fieldwork
In addition, your donations help us to pay for operational costs, such as wages for local staff members and teachers, transport costs and logistics. This is how we can build strong communities together.
You can support us with a one-time gift, organise a fundraising event, or you can commit to a regular, repeated donation. What’s more, you can choose to support a specific project; read more about this on Our Projects page.
Our membership model for students and learning partners
To support our hubs from the base up, students and learning partners are invited to make a voluntary contribution. If local economic circumstances allow, we would like to streamline this by operating a membership model. Naturally, students in primary and secondary education will always join our programmes free of charge, same for high school leavers entering the job market.
Graduates and certificate holders who want to broaden their skills pay an annual membership fee. Anyone who has a permanent job and wants to join a specific training course, contributes per training. Our learning partners can also contact us to subscribe their employees or members to our hub; we ask them for a contribution per group per training.
In this way we make CLIC Africa not solely dependent on donations, but also on the level of community participation in our hub’s learning activities. Of course, we always ensure that the suggested donations in this model remain affordable for every student or participant.
