Campaigns and Donations
Where does my donation go?
100% of your donation — almost always — goes directly to support children and families in need. Our UK operational costs are covered by Gift Aid and other sources, ensuring your generosity reaches the programs on the ground.
Can I choose how my donation is used?
Yes! You can choose to support a specific appeal, such as sponsoring a child, supporting mental health, helping rebuild schools, or funding community initiatives. If you’re unsure, you can make a general donation and we’ll direct it to where it’s most urgently needed.
What impact does my donation have?
Your contribution helps provide essentials like food, clothing, medical care, education, mental health support, and protection services. Whether it’s sponsoring a child, supporting school renovations, or funding youth and community programs — your donation helps restore childhood, dignity, and hope.
How do I know my donation is making a difference?
We are committed to transparency. We provide updates through reports, stories, and testimonials from the communities we serve. Our programs are guided by international standards and best practices, and we continuously measure impact on the ground.
How quickly does my donation start helping children?
Your donation begins working immediately. Within 48 hours of your gift, it starts directly supporting children through our ongoing programs. Whether it’s providing meals, educational support, or emergency protection, your impact is immediate.
Is my donation secure?
Yes, absolutely. Our donation platform uses industry-standard security measures including SSL encryption to protect your personal and financial information. All payment processing is handled through secure, PCI-compliant payment gateways that meet the highest security standards.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept multiple secure payment options through our donation platform:
- Credit/Debit Cards
- PayPal
- Bank transfers (details provided during checkout)
- Monthly giving through automated recurring donations
Note: Available payment methods will be displayed during the donation process.
Can I make a monthly donation instead of a one-time gift?
Yes! You can easily set up recurring monthly donations by selecting the “monthly donation” option during checkout. Monthly giving allows us to plan long-term projects and provide sustained support to children. You can manage your recurring donations through your donor account on our website.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
If you’re donating from the UK, your donation may be eligible for Gift Aid, increasing its value at no extra cost to you. For other countries, please check local tax laws or consult your accountant.
