Churches
Many churches, of all denominations, are supporting Ibba Girls Boarding School by inviting a speaker to a service; showing the Ibba film; offering regular prayer support; giving an annual tithe; paying for a classroom or a bed; sponsoring a teacher; and sponsoring a student, or a class of 40 girls.

Donate & Regular giving
93 pence in every pound you donate goes direct to support Ibba Girls School. However, giving a monthly amount, such as the £33 that our Student Sponsors commit to, will help us to guarantee ongoing support for teaching, equipping, feeding and accommodating the additional 40 girls who join the school each year.
Please also consider signing up for Gift Aid, to add 25 percent to the value of your donation at no extra cost to you. To start giving a £33 a month click here. (You can also now give to FIGS via Stewardship, if you use them.)

Volunteer
FIGS welcomes volunteers in many different capacities. We have active teams of part-time volunteers in London and Coventry who help with fundraising applications and activities, social events and administration. We also have some volunteers who go to Ibba for several weeks to help with teaching, health education, adult literacy or in other practical ways.
If interested helping in any way please contact jean.hartley@open.ac.uk and we will call you to talk about the opportunities available.
