Benefit from a tax deduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Depending on your country of residence, you can benefit from a tax reduction or deduction. Children in the Cloud is an approved Foundation of the Canton of Vaud (VD - Switzerland) and as such it benefits from the tax deduction on donations made to it. Swiss taxpayers can pay their donations directly to the Foundation, which will issue a tax receipt entitling them to the tax deduction. For the other European countries that are members of the TGE (Transnational Giving in Europe), a Foundation is designated in each country to receive donations and issue the tax receipt under the conditions in force in the donor's country of residence. Each of the national foundations (Fondation de France<\/em>, Empresa & Sociedad<\/em> in Spain, Maecenata<\/em> in Germany, etc.) then returns the collected donations to us. A percentage (around 5% in general) is levied for management fees by each intermediate Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children in the Cloud - 8 years of action!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We made an initial contact with the population at the end of April 2016 and discussed their needs. From this, the priorities were defined used to the formulate the project. After the rainy season (May - August) we developed the project with the support of an Ethiopian person who has already successfully carried out similar projects in the south of the country for an English NGO. The estimated cost of the first phase of the project is 350'000 Swiss francs excluding domestic contributions, i.e. land, transport and construction labour. Our goal is to raise enough funds to complete the construction in 2021. The challenge is about to be met!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Projects in progress or under study<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

- Construction of a permanent primary school for 600 pupils. The project is now complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Housing for school teachers, project completed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Construction of sanitary facilities and bringing water to the school, project completed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Supply of school material and reference books<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Supply of uniforms<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Construction of a camping area for passing tourists<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a second step, we reached an agreement with the secondary school in Chirolaba and built accommodation on site to enable the children of Sona to continue their studies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are currently preparing to build 4 classrooms to double the capacity of the Chirolaba secondary school. The school currently accommodates 800 pupils with just 4 classrooms. The cost of this project is estimated at 160,000 Swiss francs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here's an excellent reason to make a humanitarian donation to Ethiopia by supporting our action!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
