HELP LIBERIA FOUNDATION

Educating An African Child On 1%

Posted by Help Liberia Foundation on March 05, 2009

The time of the year commonly known as the one-percent-donation season in Poland is around once more, and it’s time for you to decide what to do with your one-percent.

Every year, using a yearly tax form, you – as a worker in Poland – have the opportunity and choice to donate one-percent of your taxes to a charity organization. And for an organization to qualify for the one-percent arrangement, the organization must be licensed as an OPB (Organization of Public Benefit). You can find us here.

As many of you may already know, our foundation is planning to construct a school building for children in Liberia, a country in West Africa. This is our major project at the moment, and we need funds to be able to implement it. We are therefore appealing to you to donate your one-percent to our foundation. We also appeal to you to, if possible, talk with our people whom you know, including your family and friends, to donate their one-percent to our foundation.

Your one-percent donation will help to give education to underprivileged children in Africa. It doesn’t matter whether or not you consider the value of your one-percent too little. As our motto indicates: Little is much to the needy. What you may consider a little amount could help a poor African child to go to school.

It’s also possible to donate directly to our general bank accounts, or to our School Building Project account. The information is given below:
