There are ways to help combat poverty other than by sponsorship or financial support. You can take part in our project by providing unwanted and unnecessary household items, clothing, educational materials etc to our following drop off points. We can pass on donations to the children and their families. Alternatively, when we collect sufficient amount of donated items, we can arrange for a garage sale or to sell the donated items in the flea market. In this way we may collect some funds to run the project.

You can also bring your donations with you on your visit to Bangladesh or Belgium and make contact with one of our staffs to arrange collection from your destination or you can drop your donationed items to one of our drop off points. You can also make your donation directly to the children and their families during your visit in Bangladesh. This applies equally to foreigners and to residents of Bangladesh.

An example of donated items:

– All type of clothes and shoes (both children’s and adult)
– School materials
– Books and paintings
– Kitchen utensils
– Electronic Equipment
– Toys
– Toiletries
– Bedroom items
– Dining items
