Membership Contributions
Each member supports our project with a monthly minimum contribution of € 10, considered a donation. There is no upper limit to the donation amount. A fixed minimum contribution is essential, as we provide students with consistent monthly support over several years until they graduate from school. Without a defined minimum, it would be difficult to ensure long-term and stable support. Moreover, many students perceive widely varying support amounts as arbitrary or even as charity, which could negatively impact their self-esteem.
To simplify the payment process, membership contributions are collected semi-annually via direct debit. Of course, one-time donations - including those from non-members - are always welcome. All donations are tax-deductible.
Transfer of Funds
To minimize transfer costs from Germany to Bangladesh, the funds are transferred every four months to a central account in Dhaka (Bangladesh). From there, the money is distributed to local accounts according to the recipients' place of residence. All transfer fees are covered by the organization.
Outlook
In the future, we plan to establish a non-profit organization in Bangladesh that will take over the full responsibility for distributing the funds locally.
