How do I know my donation will get where it needs to?

We have a dedicated team that ensures that all the money is banked correctly and reaches the beneficiaries. We produce an Annual report that breaks down donations down to the penny in each country. Check out www.charityweek.com/annual-report

Why should I donate to Charity Week?

The most important question. There are many other projects and campaigns to donate to that are excellent too. So why Charity Week? Because when you donate to this campaign, you're not just donating to a cause, you are multiplying the benefit of that donation through unity. Instead of buying some medicines, you are donating to revamp an the entire cancer services. Instead of donating for the education of one child, you are building entire schools. Through the blessings of unity, the funds you donate will be more powerful, more efficient and more effective.

What if I want to do more?

We thought you would never ask. Email info@charityweek.com and find out how you can join this movement for unity where you are.
