Charles, Zimbabwean Sperm Donor in South-East, Botswana

Why I want to be a sperm donor:

I believe true humanity is about compassion and connection—helping others even when their struggles aren’t my own. Becoming a sperm donor is my way of giving hope to those who dream of having a child but face challenges beyond their control. If I have the ability to make a difference in someone’s life, then I see it as a privilege to do so

Description of myself:

I see myself as someone who understands that we all walk different paths, facing struggles that may not always be the same. But true humanity, to me, is about recognizing that even if someone’s problem isn’t mine, I can still offer kindness, support, and understanding. You don’t have to fully feel another person’s pain to acknowledge it, and you don’t have to carry their burden to help lighten it. I believe in compassion—not as a duty, but as a choice. A choice to show up, to listen, and to help where I can, simply because I can. Because at the end of the day, being human isn’t just about existing—it’s about connecting, and the strongest connections are built on empathy and kindness.

My letter to intended parents:

I believe true humanity lies in compassion—the willingness to help others, even when their struggles aren’t our own. Though our paths may be different, I understand that your journey to parenthood has likely been filled with challenges, hope, and resilience. Becoming a sperm donor is my way of offering support, not just biologically, but by giving you the opportunity to build the family you’ve been dreaming of. If I can play a small part in bringing that joy into your life, I consider it a privilege. I admire your strength and commitment to creating a loving home, and I hope that, in some way, this journey leads you to the happiness you deserve.
