Home | Where does your money go?

We do not give money directly to the school but instead to external food and educational materials suppliers who deliver the items to the school each month. These suppliers provide us with documentation of the delivery and we keep in regular contact with our volunteer project coordinators on the ground to ensure the required supplies arrive correctly. We hope the way in which this program is set-up allows donors to feel comfortable that their money is going to the right place and directly to the cause.

Exactly how much money goes to the cause:

NO donations are used in wages or expenses. Our finances are extremely transparent and supporters can see exactly where every single penny of their donations are being spent.
