In addition to donations, companies may help in other ways too.

To make a donation please send a cheque made payable to Starehe UK to StareheFuture Appeal, Shell Centre, York Road, London SE1 7NA.
UK taxpayers can increase the value of their donation to the Appeal by completing a gift aid form. This enables us to claim back income tax already paid.
