Our team carefully determines key benchmarks for fund utilization, progress and
monitoring. Program teams provide periodic reports to the donor as well as the advisory

video calls from time to time to see how the beneficiaries are benefitting from your
donation. You may also come and volunteer with the organisation you have donated to.
