„A charitable project with the children at the centre. Donate and be assured that every cent arrives. That's what Good Hope Centre e.V. is all about."
Support the children of Happy Watoto Homes & School
Since 2007, with your help, we have been performing small miracles for our children in Tanzania every day. Especially the building block education enables a successful exit from poverty, hunger and hopelessness. Therefore, our request to you: Don’t stop helping. Whether with a one-time donation or ongoing support – we are infinitely grateful for every cent.
Donate
General information about your donation
Donation receipt
For amounts up to 200.00 euros, the deposit slip or account statement is considered a donation receipt and can be submitted to the tax office.
For donations of more than 200.00 euros, the tax authorities require a separate donation confirmation. Of course, we can also issue donation receipts for less than EUR 200.00 on request.
Please write your exact address details legibly on the donation receipt!
We will send the donation receipts by March of the following year. If you are missing proof, please call us or contact us – we’ll take care of it.
Recognized non-profit
The Good Hope Center e.V. association is recognized as a non-profit organization by the Gütersloh tax office and may issue donation receipts.
Notice of exemption
The exemption notice from the Gütersloh tax office is available and a copy can be sent on request.
Very important
Unfortunately, we often lack the contact details to say thank you, to send the requested donation receipts, or keep our supporters up to date on local activities. Please send us your complete contact details and look forward to receiving mail from the Good Hope Center e.V.
That's why every penny counts.
All costs incurred in connection with the project (website creation, social media communication, printing of advertising material, organisation and implementation of events and fundraising, donor support, volunteer coordination and travel to Tanzania) are always paid out of our own pockets. All members work for the association on a voluntary basis in their free time or provide their business know-how free of charge. This is how we ensure that every donation reaches its destination.
There are many ways to help our children
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
Are you or your company looking for a social project that offers help for self-help, guarantees sustainable development opportunities for the children and paves a successful way out of the poverty spiral?
It’s great that we have found each other here. With the Good Hope Centre e.V., various support possibilities are open to you.
You can financially support whole children’s rooms (1 room for four children), whole houses (1 house for 16 children) or the children’s school education. Perhaps you would also like to participate in the ongoing financing of a children’s home?
There is also a great need for children’s toys, English-language books, school supplies and children’s clothing. Successful corporate involvement needs to be well planned and thought through.
Please get in touch with our chairman and arrange a first non-binding consultation. Of course, we will support your special commitment and provide you with all the necessary documents so that you can communicate your Corporate Social Responsibility Commitment to the outside world. We can provide you with logos, text contributions, donation forms, and short presentations – let us know what you need.
A visit by you or your staff on site is also welcome.
Occasion donations
Birthday, birth, baptism, wedding, anniversary, confirmation… There are many occasions. Is there something special to celebrate in your family, and it is important to you to bring joy to others on this momentous day? You could ask your guests to turn part of their gifts into a donation. We would be happy to provide you with flyers and concrete tips. Contact us in good time.
Non-monetary donations / Donations in kind
Donations in kind are also always welcome on site. However, please bear in mind that transport to Tanzania is expensive and needs to be well planned. Against this logistical background, we particularly favour large donations. Please do not hesitate to contact us.
