We follow a 90/10 principle: 90% of your donation directly supports the project, while 10% is used to cover essential administrative costs that help us keep our work running effectively.

We are committed to responsible financial stewardship, adhering to the donation guidelines of the Association of Evangelical Missions (AEM), and undergoing an annual independent audit. Donation principles of the Association of Evangelical Missions (AEM) to comply with the annual audit.

GENERAL NOTE:

We are deeply grateful for every donation and handle it with great care and responsibility. Your gift will be used exclusively for our statutory purposes. If you have designated a specific project, we will honor your intention as far as possible. If this is not feasible—because the project no longer exists, is already fully funded, or has come to an end—we will thoughtfully redirect your donation to a similar project where it is urgently needed.

In the case of permanent donations or long-term permanent orders that have an obsolete or unchanged donation purpose, we assign the donations to the subsequent project or a similar project.

FULL ADDRESS DETAILS

We would like to thank you for your donation and send you a donation receipt. Therefore, in addition to the reference stated on the bank transfer, please make sure to provide your full current address.
