Who benefits from my help?
A total of 650 children, aged between 8 and 18, will be supported. Among them, 500 boys and 150 girls will directly benefit from your donation or volunteer efforts. All of these children are based in Kanyosha, Bujumbura Rural, an area facing significant infrastructure challenges that we are working to improve.
How can you guarantee that my donations will go directly to the kids in need?
Ingenier:innen ohne Grenzen Austria & our local NGO ensure that 100% of your donations are used directly for project implementation and reach those in need. As a non-profit organization, we operate with minimal overhead and rely largely on volunteer support, allowing us to allocate funds efficiently and transparently. Aside from unavoidable transaction fees charged by payment providers, your contribution goes fully toward supporting our work on the ground.
