Abaana sends 95% of your donation to Uganda for children in Primary and Secondary school. That is the minimum donation amount to sponsor a child. This will cover school fees, school uniforms, scholastic materials, hot meals where possible, basic medical treatment and also the development of their education. For example, any money left over from all the children attending one school, may go towards building a new classroom. Sponsors have the option to include an extra donation. Part of this additional money is used to cover children whose sponsors are unable to continue with sponsorship. The remaining 5% is kept in the UK and used to help find new sponsors, giving even more children the chance of an education. Administration costs are covered through generous sponsors who pay extra voluntary donations and through Gift Aid (UK only).
Note: For International donors we set the rate in your local currency, as exchange rates vary over time, but Abaana commit to send the same amount per child to Uganda.
