Sponsorship for 2 orphans, Dominican Republic

80% funded

Christian M. (Project Manager)

Our organisation Azioni "Niños Felices" takes already care of 61 orphans in the region of Sosua. Omar and Darly Almonte are two 5 and 6 years old brothers.

If they could tell their story it would be something like this:
“…our parents are dead and currently we are living with our grandmother. Together we have to beg for food every day. There are also brighter days, when a very friendly family shares their lunch with us and gives us a plate of rice.

One day we had been begging for money to buy a Coke in front of a restaurant, when the owner banished us from his eatery. Fortunately one diner named Enzo, a member of Azioni "Niños Felices", invited us to sit on his table and bought us a Coke. Later on Enzo drove us back home and gave us our names and dates of birth: Omar Almonte 25.12.2003 und Darly Almonte 14.07.2002. This was a very special day!

Though being very poor, we always get something to eat. But if we become ill, it is a huge problem for us, because we are not able to buy the medicine needed. Enzo promised us, that he will find someone to care for us…..”

The Azioni "Niños Felices" sponsorship program is working together with local assistants, who buy the food, medicine and clothes needed and give it to the children. Every Euro donated will be provided to the children, none of the bounties is accessible for the adults or will be used by the organisation.

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.
