Our
administration costs are minimal. We have one paid member
of staff who works for a UK minimum wage. Your donation will
be spent to help abandoned children, orphan children and street
children who have a learning disability. Check
out our income and expenditure.
- The
project in Mexico is unique. There are many organizations working
with street children but few who are working with the most vulnerable,
those who also have a learning disability.
- The
project in Mexico is carefully monitored and evaluated. The
Mexico Child Link project co-ordinator visits the project in
Mexico every year to monitor the project, advise our partner
organization, and leave a detailed list of recommendations about
the running of the project. We keep careful records on the number
of children, young people and their carers who benefit from
the project. This lets us know that it is good value for money.
- We
are an independent child-centered organization, not affiliated
to any religious of political group. We respect the U.N.
Convention on the Rights of the Child and believe that children
and young people with learning disability have the same rights
as anyone else.
- We
do not run a child sponsorship programme. Although these programmes
are attractive to donors, who like the idea of an individual
relationship with the child they sponsor, we feel that they
are expensive to run and don't make the best use of your donation.
Child sponsorship programmes are based on sentiment, rather
than value for money.
- We
have been working with our valued partner organization in Mexico,
Fundación Trébol, for over fifteen years. Successful
projects in the developing world are based upon long term relationships
with local organizations. Check out our
partner organization
- Income
and expenditure is carefully audited in Mexico to make sure
that funding is spent in the most useful way and that funds
cannot be misappropriated.
- The
project has the support of local government organizations in
Mexico who have funded some aspects of the project such as an
advice and information centre and the development of a small
farm.
- We
are fully tax deductible in both the US and the UK. Click here
to donate.. More information about ways of supporting our work
can be found on our donation
page.
- Finally,
we value any donation, no matter how small. We will personally
acknowledge your gift. Thanks in advance for supporting this
vital project for abandoned children with learning disability.
