Millions of children and their families in Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia are suffering from the worst drought in 60 years. Roughly 10 million families are affected, at least half of them are children. The girls and boys are malnourished and in a desperate condition.

SAVE THE CHILDREN is in Dadaab, where we supply food, clean water and medicine to children and their families. In Somalia we could distribute drinking water to 70.000 people. We are providing more than 8.000 malnourished children with special therapeutic food.

Information about the project:

Tax deductible
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.

Hallo
Wir bitten um Hilfe um Ihrem und ähnlichen Projekten helfen zu können.
Wir haben vor kurzem ein Projekt gegründet mit dem wir vor allem Spenden für Hungernde in der dritten Welt sammeln möchten. Unser Projekt: spendenshopping.com sammelt Gelder durch Verkaufsprovisionen und Werbeanzeigen. Da wir dieses Projekt ehrenamtlich neben unseren Hauptberuflichen Tätigkeiten betreiben, ist unsere Zeit und die finanziellen Mittel die wir für dieses Projekt investieren können, natürlich begrenzt. Unsere Bitte an Sie, wäre : Ob wir Bilder von Ihren Betterplace Anzeigen für unser Projekt verwenden dürfen um den Menschen die Notsituationen etwas näher zu bringen ? Desweiteren suchen wir auch noch Partner die unsere gesammelten Spendengelder entgegen nehmen und uns im Gegenzug dabei helfen,darzustellen, was die vergebenen Spendengelder bewirkt haben und das diese auch wirklich an ihrem Ziel angekommen sind. Bisher hoffen wir noch das die Startschwierigkeiten unseres erst 3 Monate alten Projekts auf ein gesundes Misstrauen beruhen, und nicht auf mangelnde Hilfsbereitschaft.
Bitte sehen sie sich unser Projekt www.spendenshopping.com einmal an. Über eine Antwort von Ihnen an reinsch.oldenburg@t-online.de würden wir uns sehr freuen.

Mit freundlichen Grüssen : Uwe Reinsch von spendenshopping.com
