Within a few hours two heavy earthquakes devastated the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Padang, the capital city in the west of the island and its 900 000 inhabitants were hit the hardest by the earthquake. The town is cut off from the outside world. Buildings, schools and hospitals collapsed. Thousands were injured and the number of victims could not yet be clarified. Lots of victims were entombed in the debris.
Save the Children field workers started to distribute blankets, plastic covers, jars and other urgently needed household articles. Thousands of children und families in the disaster area need your support now!
*** Your donation will be used for the most urgent relief items for the victims.

Information about the project:

Tax deductible
Information about trustworthiness of the project
We forward 100 % of your donation

The German fiscal authorities acknowledged that this project is charitable - You receive a contribution receipt.

Apart from checking the notice of exemption of the German fiscal authorities ("charitability"), betterplace does not assess this project. Since there are thousands of projects from all around the world and since there are a variety of criteria on which an estimation can be based, only one group can make assessments efficiently: the betterplace community, i.e. you. Furthermore, as you know, projects can never checked with 100% certainty of the results- especially in the fundraising sector.

Please inform yourself about the project through our "web of trust": look at the project responsible (why don't you ask a question about your possible donation?), the project description and the news from on-site. You can also take a look at the comments and opinions, previous donors, visitors and internet users have left so far.

We suggest that you support projects, when you know the carrier organisation or the project responsible, or if a trustworthy person recommended the project to you - or if the web of trust convinced you of the project's trustworthiness.

betterplace.org forwards 100 percent of your donation to the project carrier or in cases where there is no carrier organisation to the project responsible. The recipient is obligated to use the money for the purpose that was defined in the description of the project.

\ When you donate you have the option to add a "tip" for betterplace.org to the 100 percent. Through the tips we finance the operation (servers etc.) and development (programming etc.) of our platform. Even though we are charitable, we also have to pay our bills. But of course your tip is completely voluntary. If you donate some money to us - thank you! Your team from betterplace.org.
