Monetary Donations
If you would like to use your donation for a heart project of your choice, please indicate this in the intended purpose. You will receive a German donation receipt on request. Please note that you must provide your full name and address for this. Please understand that it takes some time to issue a donation receipt, as only voluntary members are active in the association.
Material Donations
You are welcome to donate items such as clothing, food, toys, furniture or appliances by prior arrangement. Please note that we only accept donations in kind in quantities that we can use in our various locations. Container transport to Africa involves very high costs and a great deal of bureaucracy, so we kindly ask for prior coordination.
Remunerated Donations
Donations in the form of working time for the organisation are referred to as compensation or remuneration donations. In this case, the donor donates their working time to the organisation and gives up their salary compensation. This can later be declared as a special expense in the tax return with the donation receipt and deducted from tax. The requirement for this, however, is that the donor agrees appropriate remuneration for their work with the organisation in writing beforehand and only renounces the monetary payment in writing afterwards.
Corporate Donations
If you as a company have a pool of old industrial machinery, medical equipment, functional technology such as PCs, monitors, smartphones or household appliances, we will be happy to find a suitable location in consultation with our local contacts in our supported developing countries. Talk to us about equipping schools, orphanages and hospitals and supporting African entrepreneurship in Togo and Nigeria. There is a particularly great need for donations in kind that can be used in agriculture and for energy production. In return, we will issue you with a donation receipt for the current sales value, taking into account age, purchase price and wear and tear. You can also deduct this donation receipt from your taxes in the same way as a cash donation in Germany.
