FAQS

Does 100% of the money go towards shipping?

A very large percent of your monetary donation goes directly to cover the shipping costs of transporting donated goods, and purchasing high priority urgent needs that are not available in the area or are cost prohibitive. Examples include tourniquets, infant formula, over the counter medical supplies, and batteries of all sizes. Note: The Better Business Bureau recommends no more than 35% of a nonprofits budget should be spent on operating expenses. Protect Global Children spends only 1.5%!
