Holiday 2011

Lumana’s 2011 Holiday Campaign

WHAT: Lumana is excited to announce our Holiday Campaign! Our campaign is a way to offer individuals and groups interested in Microfinance, Africa and Lumana to come together in support of our programs this holiday season. There are three easy ways to get involved:

1. Throwing an Adopt a Co-op party gives you a chance to share the story of Lumana with friends, family, and co-workers. Whether you're interest in throwing a party with 60 friends or having a casual dinner party of 10 or less, Lumana can offer toolkits and guidance that make it easy. Following the party, guests get periodic updates on the cooperative they sponsored so they can see how their donations are changing the lives of the co-op members for the better. Need some party tips? We are happy to help, contact adoptacoop@lumana.org.

2. Donating directly on the website allows you to browse our list clients and read their personal stories to learn more about them before selecting a coop to donate to. Once you choose a Lumana coop to donate to your donation will be reflected on the coop’s “progress to funding” bar and you will also receive periodic updates on the coop's progress. You are also able to make contributions under someone else’s name and have the periodic updates sent to that person. You may also sign up for monthly recurring donations to give back to support Lumana and all the work we do throughout the year. These are the easiest ways to give!

3. By donating your birthday or Christmas or other special occasions to Lumana supporters can make a public gesture using marketing materials provided by Lumana to inform your friends and family on social networks, via e-mail and mail that you are asking for them to support Lumana in their name in lieu of personal gifts. This is an awesome way for supporters to spread the message that giving is better than getting while supporting Lumana's amazing clients in Ghana!

4. Buy a Kente Christmas Stocking made by two Lumana clients in Ghana! These beautiful stockings come in a variety of colors and sizes and are sure to look beautiful on your Christmas tree or over your fireplace! We will be selling them one for $10 or 3 for $25. If you are interested in purchasing stockings email us at contact@lumana.org!
