Every donation counts! Your contribution helps us to improve the quality of education and learning conditions for children in war and crisis zones. Our emergency aid projects are also made possible thanks to your donations.
In case you do not wish to donate by filling out our form, you can also transfer your donation directly to us. In this case, please use the following bank account:
VISIONS FOR CHILDREN E.V. BANK FÜR SOZIALWIRTSCHAFT IBAN: DE 49 3702 0500 0001 6175 01 BIC: BFSWDE33HAN PAYMENT REFERENCE: E.G. “FREE DONATION”
You can always send us a donation from abroad. To do this, you can either donate via PayPal or make a standard bank transfer. Depending on the circumstances, you might have to pay a fee. A regular donation via SEPA direct debit procedure is unfortunately not possible from foreign countries.
Visions for Children e.V. is a registered non-profit organization. Therefore, your donation is tax-deductible.
Out of every euro donated, 93 cents go to our projects. The remaining 7 cents are used to cover our administrative costs (3 cents) and for advertising and public relations (4 cents).
Project-independent funds give us flexibility and enable us to use the donation right where it is needed most. You can of course also donate to specific projects. Simply select the preferred project in the donation form or name the project in the payment reference of your bank transfer.

For our school building projects in Afghanistan and Uganda, we do not accept donations in kind. The transport of material goods is too complex and expensive. We also take pride in strengthening local economies near our project schools when we purchase the necessary products from on site. You are, however, always welcome to support us with office supplies and tools for our work in Germany.
Due to liability and insurance reasons, we unfortunately cannot offer project trips. If you plan to be on site yourself or travel to one of our project locations, we will be happy to provide you with the address and contact information for a visit.
For donations of €300 or more, we can send you a donation receipt. Simply click on the box in our donation form to get one. If you donate directly to our bank account, you can request a donation receipt via email—just send us your name and address. For donations less than €300, we can provide you with a simplified, downloadable donation receipt.
In order to keep bureaucracy and costs to a minimum, we issue donation receipts for all donors in the spring of the year following the donation. In case you need a donation receipt for your records immediately, please send us an email with your name and address.
