About us

Where your money goes

We’re committed to making sure your donation has the biggest possible impact for those in greatest need.

Select the numbers below to see how every pound you donate is used.

  • That’s anything from an emergency shelter for earthquake survivors, to training that empowers a whole village to escape poverty.

  • Every penny we invest in fundraising helps us raise even more money to support life-changing projects and end extreme poverty.

  • We make sure your donation gets to where it needs to be, and that it’s being used effectively in over 50 countries.

1 in 10 people are living in extreme poverty. Help more people break free.

Donate now

Help lift more people out of extreme poverty.

How often would you like to donate?

If you can manage it, a smaller monthly donation can make even more of a difference by enabling us to plan more long‑term projects.
