- How does the donation/transfer of money work?
You have two options to donate:
a) You transfer money directly to the account of the Shak Junior School in Uganda.
b) You transfer the money to the German account of the friends association. We then transfer the amount to the account of the school in Uganda. The transfer costs of 99 cents per transfer are paid by the two chairpersons, so that there are no administrative costs and 100% of your money arrives!
What is the best way to transfer money?
Do not transfer money to Uganda via a German bank. I know from my own (painful) experience that the bank charges for transfers to Africa are enormously high.
This is how we transfer money to Africa: We use a service provider like WorldRemit (www.worldremit.com) or Remitly (www.remitly.com) We have tested both several times and can recommend them. Transfers with WorldRemit or Remitly are very cheap: even large amounts cost only 99 cents per transfer! These transfer costs are borne by the two chairpersons, so that 100% of your donation reaches Uganda.
