Donate and help

Donations

The main principle of our organisation is that those of us in Austria act on a completely voluntary basis, so that 100% of our funds can be used in Uganda

We keep in touch with supporters through Facebook or via email newsletter. Occasionally we have to pay postage when acknowledging donations. The homepage and ink cartridges are often subsidised by board members.

You could support us with a contribution towards running costs, by making your wishes clear on the bank transfer.

The following are examples of projects with approximate costs. If you wish your donation to be allocated specifically, please add a note to the bank transfer.

• Petrol allowence: on average our social workers and employees in the porridge programme drive 20,000 km a year, which accounts for yearly petrol costs of 800 Euros.
