Add your full name and address to the reference to receive an official receipt early next year. Write “YES, I agree to be published” if we may name you in the donor register (first name and initial, for example “Tatjana M.”); otherwise your gift is listed as anonymous.
Transparency
We publish every donation we receive, by name if you agree, otherwise as anonymous. In sensitive regions this openness protects our staff.
Most of your gift pays our local teachers, at €4 to €10 an hour depending on experience. Most of our international staff, including our chairperson, work without a salary. Every year our teams survey the families we serve and publish the results.
