For many years the women’s cooperative “Riziki” has been running a small guest house in Pwani Mchangani, a village on the east coast of Zanzibar. The guest house with its six rooms is mostly hosting workers from neighboring hotels. The income from the guest house supports around 40 women and their families.
Now the members of the cooperative have decided to add value to their guest house. They want to set up electricity, so they have light in the rooms and in order to buy a fridge. That enables them able to offer fresh fish and cold beverages. It is also necessary to renew the toilets and showers as well as refurbish the guest rooms.10% of the money in need has been collected already by the women, who also run a seaweed farm, we want to support them collecting the rest.

Information about the project:

Not tax deductible
Information about trustworthiness of the project
We forward 100 % of your donation

The German fiscal authorities have NOT acknowledged that this project is charitable - but it might be acknowledged in its home country.

betterplace.org did not assess this project. Maybe the project is charitable in its home country according to the local fiscal authorities, but we cannot assess that. Since there are thousands of (very often very small) 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.

Hallo Chris,

habe mich gerade eben neu angemeldet, hatte mal einen Bericht im Fernsehen gesehen und fand das eine super Sache - betterplace an sich. Das Projekt, was du hier beschreibst, klingt sehr interessant und es fehlen ja wohl nur noch 30 Euro. Die würde ich gern beisteuern.
Für das Projekt soll es ja eine Spendenbescheinigung geben. Da ich aber ungern meine komplette Adresse hier veröffentlichen möchte, wie erreicht mich denn die Spendenbescheinigung.
Danke schon mal für deine Antwort.
Viele (verdammt kalte) Grüße aus Hannover
Gabi

Hallo Gabi,

bis zu einem Betrag von 200 Euro genuegt dem Finanzamt der Ueberweisungstraeger als Nachweis der Spende. Ausserdem wird niemand ausser betterplace (nicht einmal ich als Projektverantwortlicher) deine Adresse erfahren. Betterplace wird die Spende bestaetigen.

Viele Gruesse,
Matthias
