Where does my donation go?

Your donation is used to support students and the educational work we carry out in the community. This can include school fees, uniforms, books, stationery, transportation and other essential support required to keep students learning.

How will I receive updates about the student or project I supported?

We aim to keep our donors connected to the impact of their contributions. Depending on the type of donation or sponsorship, updates may include photographs, videos, receipts, progress information or other relevant documentation.

If you are sponsoring a student’s expenses for several months, you can also stay in contact with our team for updates throughout the sponsorship period.

Does Mashq Foundation use donations for administrative expenses?

Yes. Like any organisation carrying out work in the community, we have necessary operating expenses. A portion of donations may be used to cover essential costs such as administration, transportation, fuel, communication, coordination and other expenses required to deliver support to students and families.

These costs allow our team to reach students, coordinate assistance, purchase and deliver supplies, and ensure that donations are used effectively. We aim to keep these expenses responsible and transparent while directing as much support as possible towards those who need it.

How do I know my donation was actually used for its intended purpose?

We believe donors deserve to see the impact of their contributions. Where appropriate and with respect for the privacy and dignity of the people we support, we take photographs or videos documenting the assistance provided. These may include educational supplies, fee support or other forms of assistance.

We can share relevant updates, photographs or videos with donors so they can see how their contribution has been used and the difference it has made.

Can I sponsor a specific student?

Yes, where a suitable sponsorship opportunity is available. Our team can provide you with information about a student’s educational needs and the type of support required. We also take care to protect the privacy and dignity of children and their families when sharing information with donors.

Can I donate something other than money?

Yes. Depending on our current needs, you may be able to contribute school uniforms, books, stationery, educational materials and other essential items. If you would like to donate goods, please contact us first so we can guide you on the items currently needed.

Can I make a one-time donation instead of sponsoring a student?

Absolutely. You don’t need to commit to a long-term sponsorship to make a difference. Every contribution matters. You can make a one-time donation towards education, student expenses, books, uniforms, stationery or another current need identified by Mashq Foundation.
