The work of Potter’s Village is funded entirely by donations from individuals, churches, charities and legacies.
Running costs for the whole project are approximately £90,000 per year. These include milk and nappies, wages for the staff (primarily the baby carers), electricity, etc. One-third of the running costs are paid by regular donors.
You can make a regular contribution to the work of Potter's Village by sponsoring a child, becoming a regular donor, or by making a one off donation. All donations are critical to enable Potter's Village to continue to give life saving support and help to so many families, now and in the future.

Giving a Gift in your Will
Imagine a gift that could transform a child’s life forever - with just a small gift in your Will, you can give life, health, hope and happiness to children facing uncertain futures without Potter’s Village.
Why Potter’s Village?
A gift to Potter’s Village in your Will is life changing - you could help us to save the lives of many children and support some of Uganda’s poorest families. Since Potter’s Village started in 2007 we have helped save the lives of hundreds of children.
We know that your family and friends will always come first, but once you have secured their future, you could change the future of children in Kisoro.
