How are your funds used by the Foundation?
The donations received by the foundation are integrated into the financing of our emergency assistance programmes and into development. The Foundation has given the assurance to its backers that they will use at least 80% of its funds in direct aid to the victims in the field. In practice we attribute less than 10% of the funds to our central administration, which means that over 90% of the funds go directly to local beneficiaries. Thus, the budget of the central logistics represented 9.18% of the global outgoings in 2008.

Cost of a school with two classrooms built in the Salomon Islands in 2008 following the tsunami of April 2007: 46 000 €
Construction in 2009-2010 of a group of 71 lodgings in Colombia, to re-house 71 families who were displaced after the conflict there: 9000 € per family, which is approximately the average yearly salary for a man in Colombia, 8% of this sum was central logistic costs.
