Ambassador programme

Make our mission yours

As an ambassador you carry our work into your world — with your own fundraiser, your voice or your reach. How is up to you. Materials, support and pictures from Mityana come from us.

Welcome to the programme

You are the voice that can carry it on

Our network spans many regions and connects very different people: freelancers, digital nomads, bloggers, employees, students. They share just one thing — they pass on what is growing in Mityana.

We will happily set up your own fundraising campaign, tailored to you and your circle. Just as well, you can join one of our running campaigns and simply share your link. Both work, both help.

Reach is not a criterion. Twenty people who really listen to you move more than twenty thousand who scroll on.

Guests of RTL — Wir helfen Kindern in Cologne: their employee project turned into funding for our work in Mityana. Carried forward by people who talked about it.

How you do it

Two things count — the rest is up to you

Variety

A conversation in passing, a stall at the summer fair, a campaign of your own — there is no prescribed way.

Authenticity

No ad copy sounds as convincing as someone speaking from conviction. Just be yourself.

Eight occasions

Ideas for your fundraiser

Tried out by other ambassadors. Take one, combine them or invent your own.

Birthday

Ask for support instead of presents. You decide what the money goes to: clean water, medicine, school supplies or meals.

Games night

Poker, board games, a quiz — invite friends and collect a contribution for the children in Mityana instead of a stake.

At the office

A flyer on the desk, a paragraph in the internal newsletter, a post on the intranet. Colleagues are often the easiest place to start.

Graduation

You made it to graduation. Celebrate by opening the way to school for other children.

Dinner party

Cook for friends and raise money for meals in Mityana. Every plate at your table becomes a plate there.

Upcycling

There is more unused clothing in the wardrobe than you think. Flea market, garage sale or selling online — the proceeds go into the project.

Sponsored run or ride

Marathon, city run, bike tour or a ride out: you cover the distance, your circle donates for it.

This is how Johanna did it →

From the programme

Two campaigns that really happened

Juliette’s wedding — a QR code instead of favours

On their wedding day, Juliette and Mert donated the sum that would otherwise have gone into wedding favours to the Jona Foundation. On every place setting lay a postcard with a QR code instead — leading to a small page of their own explaining what the money would do.

Part of it became cake, music and a little celebration for the children in Mityana. The rest went into the kindergarten. The guests later got to see pictures — and with them an answer to the question that usually stays open: what actually came of it?

What you get from us

You are not doing this alone

Your campaign page

If you like, we set up your own donation page with your name and your goal. All you do is share the link.

Thanks, made visible

A thank-you card, a souvenir from Uganda and a shoutout on our channels — if that is fine with you.

Pictures from Mityana

The most important part: photos and videos of what happened with the donations you raised.

Common questions

Before you get in touch

Do I need a big following?+

No. Most of our ambassadors have no public profile — they have a circle of friends, a team at the office or a club. Personal storytelling works more reliably than any follower count.

How does my own fundraiser work?+

We create a campaign page with your name, your occasion and your goal. You get a link to share. Donations go directly to the Jona Foundation, so you never collect or forward money yourself.

Does it cost me anything, and am I committing to something?+

No and no. There is no membership fee, no minimum amount and no fixed term. If the timing stops working for you, just let us know — that is it.

Will my donors get a donation receipt?+

Yes. The Jona Foundation is a registered charity, donations are tax-deductible, and the receipt is sent automatically as soon as an address is provided with the donation.

I would like to take part as a company — is that possible?+

There is a route of its own for that. The page corporate partnership describes what a collaboration can look like.

No child should have to give up their future because of poverty.
