MAKING A DIFFERENCE, DIRECTLY

Have you ever dreamt of making a difference in a child's life, but felt uncertain about where exactly your donation goes? With FOCUS Orphanage School, you can leave those worries behind.

At FOCUS, we have an unshakeable commitment to direct impact. We believe that your donation should go straight to the cause you care about - helping the children who need it the most.

This is why when you donate to us, you can be confident that your generosity directly reaches the children we support. Our transparent model ensures your donation goes entirely towards the child's tuition, healthcare, meals, and improving our facilities, without being diminished by administrative overheads.

By donating or sponsoring a child with us, you aren't just contributing to a charity - you're becoming a part of a child's journey towards a better future.


Note, there is no organization in any Western country to organize the support, because that would immediately mean taxation, management, accounting, and many other related costs. This is truly between you and the child. That's why you need to send the sponsorship money directly to Focus School in Uganda, and yes, it is more complicated, but that is the reason for it.

Ready to create an impact that you can see, feel, and believe in?

HOW TO SPONSOR OR DONATE

Wise - A Transparent and Cost-Effective Way to Donate


At FOCUS Orphanage School, we want to make your donation process as transparent and cost-effective as possible. That's why we recommend using Wise, a platform renowned for its low fees and favorable exchange rates, to transfer your donations. Wise is well-trusted and works in Uganda.

Here's a simple step-by-step guide on how to make your donation through Wise:


  1. Create a free Wise account or log in if you already have one. You can do this on the Wise website or by downloading the Wise app. Follow guidance on their web site*.


  2. Click on 'Send Money' and choose the currency you want to send from, then enter the amount you wish to donate.


    40€ per term for one child. Multiply the sum if you pay for multiple children or terms.


    70€ per term for one child living in a dormitory.

    One term is three months and there are three terms in a year.


    The amount of your selection for a project.


    Currently, we do not support subscriptions. So we ask you to donate for each term or do annual donations. This way we can keep administration fees minimum.




  3. Next, choose 'Ugandan Shilling' as the currency you want to send.  You'll see the exchange rate and the fee upfront. 


  4. Enter our bank details  and make sure you enter your details correctly:



    Account holder name:
    Faith Orphans Care Uganda

    Bank name:
    EQUITY BANK UGANDA LTD

    Account number:
    1030200922908

    Email:
    focus-school-kabulasoke@googlegroups.com

    BIC number (normally not needed with WISE):
    EQBLUGKA

    Bank address (normally not needed with WISE):
    PLOT 34 KAMPALA ROAD CHURCH HOUSE, KAMPALA



  5. Review the details of your transfer. Make sure everything looks good before you hit send.


  6. That's it! Wise will handle the rest and notify you when the donation has been received.



By using Wise, not only do you help us receive the full benefit of your generosity, but you also know exactly where your money is every step of the way.

After you have sent the donation the first time, send also email to focus-school-kabulasoke@googlegroups.com, and we will assign a child's name and details to you.  We will also set up the connection for future communication about the child's progress in school.


Send an email in case you donated to a project and we will connect you to a specific Whatsapp group of donators. 

In case you wish no further communication, do not send the email.

THANK YOU!

*) Setting up a Wise account may take a little bit of time and effort, so do not give up! It is like setting up a bank account, so they need to verify your identity. For this, you need to take a photo of yourself and your passport. The easiest is to pay your transfer with a debit or credit card. There is secure verification for that for example using a mobile app. The transfer experience is like buying from an online e-commerce store.

You can read more detailed guidance from this blog post.

NOTE: You can transfer using your current bank directly to the Uganda bank account mentioned above, but the cost of the transfer can be tens of Euros, whereas Wise takes only Euro or two for smaller amounts, it is possible for new users to get free transfers. For example, Nordea in Finland takes at least 32 euros.

If you have ANY doubts, you can always contact Focus Advisors, whose contact information you can find on the About Us page.
