AfL could not happen without generous financial support from around the world. Contributions - large or small - will be gratefully accepted at any time. Click here to find out how to sponsor AfL.
Action for Life is committed to ensuring that all people have a chance at participating on the program regardless of their personal economic situation. Some may require financial support. Each participant is expected to do their upmost in raising funds to be able to participate, however, it is recognised that for some this will be difficult. For these participants, scholarship assistance is available.
Participants will be assisted with fundraising advice and budgeting.
Action for Life does not end on the last day of the course! AfL participants will have access to many opportunities all over the world with the IofC network. Successful applicants are advised to be prepared to engage in at least 2 months of additional project work once AfL4 finishes. Projects and opportunities will be discussed further with each participant.
