The Mityana Charity prides itself in that there are no paid officials in the UK running the Charity. All the administration in the UK is carried out by people donating hours of effort for no personal reward. The 5% administration levy taken from all donations plus the gift aid are used to help cover the costs of administering our charitable activities. These costs are mainly concerned with supporting the employment of staff and other running costs of our Ugandan partners. The main costs in the UK are associated with bank charges and the digital facilities.
Sponsors are asked to support a particular child, and are sent information about the child’s home circumstances. Each autumn they receive a letter from the child and three school reports, plus receipts for fees. We also try to send photos of the children. Sponsors, if they so wish, can write letters and send gifts to their sponsored child. A few sponsors have even joined us on visits to Mityana and met their sponsored children. Check out some of our sponsor experiences.
The charity can claim gift aid from your donations provided they are not more than four times what you have paid in tax in a tax year. The tax could have been paid on your income or capital gains. The charity claims 25p of gift aid for every £1 you donate. Donors are able to declare that they want gift aid to be claimed in the future or have made in the last four years to the charity.
To allow the charity to claim gift aid, please fill in the Gift Aid Declaration. Your address is needed to identify you as a current UK taxpayer. Once the declaration has been made, donors need take no further action.
