Volunteer-led, and careful with running costs.
School Aid is volunteer-led. As in any small charity, our running costs are met from donations; we keep them low, and the rest goes to programme delivery — the equipment itself, and the transport, logistics and local costs of putting it into classrooms.
We will publish the actual split in every mission's "where your money went" report rather than promising a single marketing ratio. We agree with the sector's independent watchdogs that an overhead percentage alone is a poor measure of a charity — what matters is what reached the classroom, evidenced. That is the standard we report against.
Payments run through regulated rails only: Donorbox with Stripe for online donations, and multi-currency business banking for procurement and partner payouts, with receipts issued for every gift.
The paper trail.
Annual report (FY 2024/25)Filed with the Estonian Business Register, June 2026. The filed report is public and can be viewed on the Estonian Business Register under code 80646408, free of charge and without an account.
Mission reports — "where your money went"Our field record for each mission — photographs and locations — is published below. The costed report, with the budget, follows for each delivery from October 2026. Four field records are published: March–April 2024, November 2024 and January 2025 in Morocco, and the August 2026 Philippines follow-up.
Operations & Implementation ManualOur global delivery standard — aligned with the Core Humanitarian Standard, Sphere and INEE. Summary available on request.
The children come first — including in photographs.
- Consent for every image. Every photograph of a child on this site was taken and is used with the documented consent of parents, school or community elders, obtained in person.
- Dignity over drama. We follow the Dóchas Code on Images and Messages: no pity imagery, no staged misery, people shown as capable protagonists of their own recovery.
- Identity protected. First names at most, no school-identifying details attached to individual children, nothing that makes a child findable.
- Real, always. No stock substitutes presented as our work, and no AI-generated "beneficiaries" — every image is from our own missions.
- Safeguarding on mission. Field conduct rules, referral procedures and PSEA principles bind everyone who travels or volunteers with us.
Your data, minimally and lawfully.
We collect only what a purpose requires: an email address to send you updates you asked for; the details a payment processor needs to complete your gift. We do not sell or share donor data, we honour deletion requests, and our processors (Donorbox, Stripe) are GDPR-compliant. Analytics on this site run only with your consent.
