We all want to help. And in a world that often feels chaotic and overwhelming, offering something tangible — clothes, books, laptops, toys — feels like a way to make a difference. But here’s a truth that doesn’t get talked about enough:
At Kiboday, we work closely with grassroots NGOs across the country. These are organizations doing the quiet, consistent work — running schools, clinics, shelters, and support systems for people who often fall through the cracks. They’re not looking for praise. They’re looking for relevant support.
And that’s where the disconnect happens.
Too often, NGOs receive in-kind donations they can’t use. Not because the items aren’t good. But because they simply don’t fit the need. A school might receive five computers — but no electricity to run them. A shelter might get ten bags of rice — but no storage space or cooking gas. A team working on education for girls might get boxes of coloring books — when what they urgently need are sanitary pads and solar lanterns.
This doesn’t mean people aren’t generous. It means our giving is often random, based on what we have on hand or what makes us feel helpful, rather than what’s actually needed.
That’s the problem Kiboday exists to solve.
We don't take money. We don't ask for it. What we do instead is listen. We speak directly with NGOs and list out their real, verified needs — specific, timely, and often surprisingly simple. Then we share these needs with our community, so every in-kind donation is driven by purpose, not assumption.
This is about respect. It’s about recognizing that NGOs know what they need — and trusting them enough to give accordingly.
Helping shouldn’t be about clearing your garage or feeling good for a moment. It should be about making sure that what you give matters to the person receiving it.
And when that happens? The impact is real. A sewing machine delivered to the right skills center becomes income for five women. A stack of notebooks sent to a remote school means one less thing to worry about for an overworked teacher. A pair of sturdy shoes — in the right size — lets a child walk to class with dignity.
So if you’re someone who cares deeply, and wants to give, here’s our invitation:
At Kiboday, we make sure every item you send is essential, not random.
Because kindness is powerful — but relevance is what turns it into real change.
