Hi Vera :) I never thought about donations from from the perspective of a local business. Anyway, I stopped donating money to big organizations like unicef precisely because I have no clue about how much of what I donate goes to those that are in need.
Have you ever donated money through one of these indiegogo-style websites where local NGO's can set up campaigns and projects? Do the money get transferred directly to their bank account?
Beautiful photos by the way 😊
No, I have never donated money through such a website. I guess I'd only do it if I knew the NGO and thought them to be trustworthy.
Actually I am part of a NGO which was founded by me and friends. We work together with the local organization in Uganda that I talked about in my post. This way I know exactly where the money goes because I am overviewing the projects myself! :)
Do you get support from the German government? I mean, I used to volunteer for Red Barnet Ungdom in Denmark - we were working on a project in Ghana with a local Ngo, and we were able to get money via one of the government programs so that we can finance the project.
