How donations are used

We keep it simple, direct, and transparent. Here’s where donations go—and why it matters.

Transparent priorities

Donations are used for two core goals: (1) education and (2) basic needs—food, clean water, and essential medicine. We focus on practical support that reduces emergencies and helps children stay in school.

Education

School fees, uniforms, books, and supplies—so children can attend consistently.

Food & water

Emergency food support, community meals, and clean water access when families face shortages.

Medicine

Basic medicines and clinic visits for urgent cases, plus prevention and hygiene supplies.

Example allocation (guideline)

Exact needs change with seasons and emergencies, but our typical focus looks like this:

~50% Education

School fees, uniforms, supplies, and support to keep children learning.

~40% Basic needs

Food support, clean water access, essential items during hard weeks.

~10% Health & emergency

Medicine, clinic visits, urgent response when floods or illness strike.

Minimal overhead

We keep expenses low. The goal is direct help, not bureaucracy.
