UK Charity Partner

There is positive news for Emmanuel Children's Home now that it is affiliated with the UK charity Hope for Children (Helping Orphaned, Poor and Exploited children all over the world). We thank them for assisting the home by extending their support to us and hope this will be a long and fruitful partnership.

They have very similar values to ECH: "We are a low-cost and no frills charity and are proud to say that 100% of public donations go directly to cause for which it was donated. We manage to keep our costs low thanks to our volunteers. We work with grass roots projects around the world and we aim to catch those who cannot get aid, support or assistance elsewhere. We really do offer hope to those who need it the most."

Their project page for ECH is
here, where the link to donate can be found. UK residents can make one-off donations through this channel, as well are regular direct debits. All funds are audited and they are able to claim Gift Aid on any UK taxpayer's donations which increases the value of the gift.
