Pledge

If you would like to support a project we strongly encourage you to contact us to “pledge” an estimated amount you wish to support. This helps because:
  • We can give you extra information and photos
  • The cross-cultural workers can get in touch
  • It gives an idea of how much support a project is likely to receive
  • If a project is fully supported we can let you know and discuss an alternative
