All of us have a plethora of talents, and an abundance within our own hearts.
Please consider, on the American front, participating on our Board of Directors, working at a SSAAP fundraiser, donating, or assisting us with spreading information about the project through word of mouth to your friends.
On the African front, visiting our headquarters in Zambia, assisting in our thriving programs in Sierra Leone, or offering insights to our emerging programs in Sudan will boost participation from the Africans. Your ideas and physical presence in Africa would mean the world to us.

Donation Impacts
Read about how community well drilling projects support many community initiatives. How would you feel if you could contribute $25.00 toward the construction of a $1,000 well which would provide clean drinking water to an entire village community in Sierra Leone? Or $50 toward the construction of a $3,000 to $5,000 well in Zambia?
Primary school sponsorship helps provide the opportunity for children to attend school. Imagine if you knew that $8.00 would buy a school uniform, learning materials, exercise books, and pencil/eraser/pencil sharpener as well as a handbag to place the learning materials for a Sierra Leonean child so she could attend school for an entire year?

Endowment Requests
Despite Heather Cumming’s lifelong efforts, there will unfortunately be a need for SSAAP long into the generations of her great grandchildren.
Your ultimate gift, as a bequest in your will, however small or large, naming Simwatachela Sustainable Agricultural and Arts Program (Federal Tax number or EIN: 27-2033029), is a gift that goes beyond global measurement. You can restrict your wishes to a particular SSAAP program or allow your gift to be used for general purposes.
Here are the 4 simplest ways you can include SSAAP in your will:
Percentage bequest: “I give, bequeath, and devise ( x percent) to Simwatachela Sustainable Agricultural and Arts Program, a qualified 501 (c)(3) Colorado non-profit corporation, to be used for its general or specific purposes.”
