Businesses With a Heart for Africa We are delighted to dedicate this newsletter to the companies
whose generosity has strengthened IRFF UK’s mission for more
than two decades.
Since 2001, more than a dozen corporate donors have helped us
deliver life-changing impact across Africa. Their support enables
long-term planning and helps us reach children who rely on our
Spotlight on Our Supporters By celebrating our partners publicly, we also hope to inspire more
companies with a heart for Africa to join us.
This month, we highlight four of our longstanding corporate
supporters whose generosity continues to make a very real
contribution to IRFF UK’s mission.
Impact Foods
Impact Foods has been one of our most important partners
since 2021. Their consistent generosity is a driving force behind
our school nutrition programme at Destiny School in Uganda,
and we are deeply grateful for their continued commitment.
Their website Impact Foods invites visitors to “join us in making
this world a better place!”, and they live this message by
dedicating 5% of their global profits to feeding vulnerable
Infra-Red Heater Company
The Infra Red Heater Company,
along with owners Dale and
Galina Rose, has offered
longstanding, heartfelt
The company is a particularly meaningful partner for our Destiny
School project and has helped fund our support of street children
in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
As Dale shared, “We are given regular updates and all the money
we donate reaches the children who very much need our help.”
Check out their Infra Red Heater Company website.
Herbal Magic
Herbal Magic has been a
steady partner since 2022,
helping feed children and staff
at Destiny School.
Their broader charitable involvement can be explored at the
Herbal Magic charitable projects page.
We value this company’s loyalty, and their contribution remains
an important part of our nutrition programme.
Providential Finance
Providential Finance has supported IRFF UK since 2017. Founder
Chris Jones funds a school in Senegal’s capital, Dakar, and has
partnered with us to make it an official IRFF UK project.
His company Providendial Finance has helped strengthen our
educational outreach in West Africa.
Special Mention: The Tricycle Shop
We are also pleased to acknowledge our very own Tricycle
charity shop in the UK, founded by Tessa Thonett, whose
goodwill and support contribute to our greater donor family.
The shop donates around 70% of its profits to IRFF UK, with the
remainder supporting two additional charities.
Tessa explains: “I love all the projects – especially the wells,
which protect girls from being attacked when collecting water

Introducing Our Digital Donor Wall To show our appreciation in a visible and lasting way, we are

directly to their site.
