Donations

This is the quickest and simplest way to give your support.

All of our work targets the poorest of the poor.

Here are some examples of the good your money can do:


£10 may not buy a lot on it's own - but when added to our crisis fund for the destitute it can have a huge impact.

£20 maintains vital independence for an elderly, ill person by providing nursing and care in their own home.

£50 funds a "Back to School Pack" (haircut, clothing, footwear,schoolbag and materials), enabling a former street child to start a new life with dignity.

£100 is the cost of a week's food for 20 children rescued from the streets and sewers, making a fresh start in our refuge for former street children.

£150 can provide a sustainable master plan to rescue a family from the poverty trap and get the children back to school.



Any donation you could give, large or small, will make a real difference to someone in need in Romania.

You could make a quick donation now

Or you could give a modest amount on a regular basis. Even a fraction of the price of your daily newspaper could make a huge difference to many lives in Romania.

There are two good reasons for this. Firstly we want to ensure a long-term future for our Romanian friends.

Giving regularly also means the charity could increase the value of your gift by nearly one third at no extra cost to you.

This is because the UK's Inland Revenue will usually refund the tax you have already paid on your donations (see table below).

We guarantee that 100% of any donation from a member of the public goes directly to Romania (This is because our administration cotsts are funded seperately).


We were the first charity in the UK to be awarded a Seal of Approval by the Accrediting Bureau of Fundraising Organisations, an initiative which involves detailed examination of a charity's work, accounts and administration systems, to show that we are fully accountable.

To get this extra money, all you have to do is complete a Gift Aid Declaration.

If you do not pay basic tax, don't worry! You can support us with a regular or one-off donation.

If you pay the higher rate tax, you can claim some of the tax back yourself.
