Donate Future

HELP TO MAKE A MEANINGFUL IMPACT

Our school project depends on the support of people who believe in changes and support them with their possibilities.

There are different possibilities to help. You can support us with a donation, for example for a specific project or running costs, or with a donation which we can use for generally accruing costs. Or you are actively involved in our project, for example, with creative donation campaigns or as a translator.

If you have questions about donations, please check the FAQs below and if your question is not answered, feel free to contact us, we are pleased to help you! Phone +49 (0) in 7506 9517983 or email susanne@pan-terra.org

FAQ DONATIONS

Here you can find answers to frequently asked questions regarding donations.

Which payment options are available to me?

You can donate by transfer in Swiss franc or euro to one of the bank accounts of the association Pan Terra in Switzerland or to the German bank account of our long-term partner and non-profit association Freund der Völker e.V.

Quick and easy can be donated by Paypal, a secure payment method that offers direct debit, credit card and GiroPay. Please note that we have to pay fees for each donation made via Paypal.

What happens to my donation?

You can support the nature school in India with a regular or one-time donation. The donation will directly benefit the desired project or purpose for which you decide. If the donations for a particular project exceed the required amount, they are used for other urgent costs around the school. With a donation not tied to a purpose, you support where help is most needed.

Will my donation really benefit the project?

The benefit of the public of the Shin Shiva Charitable Trust is recognized by the Indian state and is reviewed every six months. Dilbar Singh Parihar, the Managing Director of the trust, is personally liable. Administrative costs and salaries for the management of the trust are not paid by donations. Only costs directly attributable to the project can be settled.

In Europe, the entire work is done voluntarily. At least once a year, interested people and voluntary employees fly to India at their own expense to convince themselves personally of the progress or to cooperate.

Advertising campaigns are usually taken over by sponsors or by people from our own ranks. Donations are rarely used for this purpose.
