Transparency

Transparency is at the centre of our work. This is because we at Pamoja Africa e. V. want our members and donors to know how their donations are being used. Anja, our founder, has experienced for herself how important trust is when dealing with donations. Her experiences with the ongoing corruption in a Kenyan children’s home, where she worked as a volunteer in 2010, prompted her to set different standards at Pamoja Africa.

That is why we attach great importance to ensuring that every euro entrusted to us goes directly to the children in Maua Villa and our projects. We are proud of the fact that our administrative costs amount to only around 2.1 per cent and are fully covered by the membership fees. This means that every euro donated goes directly to the chosen project and enables, for example, school attendance or the construction of infrastructure.

On this page, we provide comprehensive information that we have prepared as part of our efforts to sign the Declaration of Commitment of the Initiative Transparente Zivilgesellschaft (ITZ). The content will be continuously expanded and updated in order to fully fulfil the strict transparency criteria of the ITZ in the near future.
