Yes we welcome any donations to support our work and you can choose where your donations go. We have a teachers salary, medical, Scouts or general donation allocations. Please contact us for further information or make a donation here. 

You will receive updates once a year around September. This will include a photo, case worker update on the student and any significant news from their family, a drawing or letter from the student and a copy of their school report, where issued. 

We prefer a standing order payment, please contact us for details. If you are a UK tax payer we will also ask you to sign a gift aid declaration which enables us to collect 25% of your donations. We use this to cover any administration costs and also to pay fees for needy students who don’t have their own sponsor.
