AMOUNT
The annual amount for each adoption is 240 euro and it can be paid in one or more instalments over the year.
- Yearly payment: 240 euro
- Half yearly payment: 120 euro
- Quarterly payment: 60 euro
- Monthly payment: 20 euro
This annual donation – equivalent to buying a newspaper a day – is enough to completely change the living conditions of someone in need.
From the annual amount 30 euro is kept each year:
24 euro to cover the running costs of the Association.
This includes office rent, telephone, postal charges, printing, photocopies and so on (all the people working for the Association are volunteers);
6 euro from each adoption is placed in the Emergency Fund to help those children who are still waiting for a sponsor.
(See Humanitarian Aid – Emergency Fund)
DURATION OF THE ADOPTION
There is no fixed length to the adoption; it is always possible to stop if you are not able to continue due to economic difficulties or for some other reason. The Association in these cases uses the Emergency Fund whilst trying to find the child another sponsor.
However, if you decide to make a long distance adoption please do so with the motivation to continue for some years. In general the children and their families, after receiving the first donation, depend upon the money to complete their educational and life projects.
