How is your donation used?
Donating is a matter of trust. And trust comes with responsibility. We manage your donations responsibly and transparently, ensuring that the majority of the funds benefit the people in our projects. This is also reflected in the DZI Donation Seal, which we have been awarded annually since 1995. Detailed figures on how funds were used in previous fiscal years can be found in our annual reports.
How does a donation make a difference?
To ensure that our efforts are highly targeted, we work closely with local partner organizations in all the countries where we operate, so that our assistance meets the specific needs on the ground. Furthermore, all our support is guided by the principle of helping people help themselves. This ensures that the people involved in our projects benefit from long-term, lasting changes and, over time, no longer rely on aid but are able to live independently and self-determinedly.
A fundraising project works like a chain reaction: every single contribution is essential; otherwise, the overall effort cannot be completed. Our efforts to build bridges and deliver aid in the project countries are only possible thanks to the collective sum of individual donations. Not only can you see this in action through our transparent reports and information about our work on the ground, but you also have the opportunity to experience it firsthand. For example, by traveling to projects or sponsored families. Such a visit can leave a profound impression and vividly demonstrate the impact of your own contribution.

How does ChildFund Germany work?
Our work is made possible by three sources of funding: sponsorships, other donations, and public funds. Our projects funded by sponsorships are designed for the long term. They are characterized by particularly close collaboration between our partner organizations in the respective project country and the local communities.
The donation-based and publicly funded projects have a shorter duration. Due to the limited timeframe, these projects require more intensive planning and support on our part.
In all projects, ChildFund plays two specific roles: First, raising funds so that the project work can be implemented at all. And second, bringing together and building bridges between those who provide money and expertise and those who lack these resources. The goal is to maximize mutual benefit from the collaboration and to advance our projects in the most effective way possible.
