It's an issue in most villages. In Khandbari, people who are interested in sponsoring a child contact Tejanath (the LR) and he provides them with the needed details to transfer the money. For most organizations that do have a "donate" button, they are either registered as a charity in the US, Canada or UK. Some partner with a registered charity there who then takes care of the transfer. I have researched this topic quite a bit over the last two years and just have not ever found a perfect solution. It always seems to go back to the same thing-using a money transfer service. [teaser] => Yes most definitely. It's an issue in most villages.

They should have a CBO with an official who can sign for it. I've never tried it that way like Kisozi Village Project in care of Eddy. Maybe he can look into it in Uganda and you in the Netherlands - I will check if that would work here in the States. Again - think long and hard about 'sponsoring a child' The 'uniqueness' of it seems to wear off too quickly, and a child might get one year of education. And maybe only 1 child in a family is sponsored creating very hard feelings. And the reason large agencies do it is because they can split the money up so that the children are equally able to share. As far as raising money right now, I still think it would be great to get young children involved in the US and Europe (check the Kyomya plan) but in Kyomya the plan I laid out only solicited 2 interested people in over 400 reads!!! VERY discouraging. Our calendars made some money, but through a number of starts and stops, we weren't able to begin to sell until beginning of Dec. We made about $700 after cost (mostly Raul! - that sweetheart), but I had projected quite a lot more. Gotta' run- -- Ginger :) [teaser] => Yes to Western Union - it is by far the least expensive way to get money to anywhere in the world - Uganda is $9.50 USD up to about $1,000 I believe - Burundi only $8.50 - so Kenya must be somewhere around there- Indonesia is the most expensive place - $15 and no one seems to know why!
