Give in memory or celebration
Encourage friends and family members to make a donation to WDM in memory of a loved one who valued our work. In this way, you can commemorate someone's life whilst helping WDM make a difference to the lives of the world's poorest people.
Or if you are celebrating a birthday, wedding, anniversary or any other occasion why not encourage friends and family to donate to WDM instead of buying you gifts.
How to organise these types of donations
WDM will provide special cards to distribute to your family and friends to explain how they can donate to us. We can also provide leaflets which explain more about WDM's work in winning justice for the world's poor.
