Charities We Support | The Band4Hope Project - Hope is contagious... [pass it on]

Charity

who we support…

When you buy and register a Band4Hope, you choose one of the charities listed below that you would like it to support on its travels. Initially, 10% of the sale price goes to this charity [with 90% going back into the project to produce more Band4Hopes in Zimbabwe]. However, this is just the beginning…

When you pass on your Band4Hope, each person who receives it has the opportunity to make a donation to your chosen charity before they give it to the next person. All donations are recorded on its HopeTrail.

In this way, your Band4Hope can raise donations for your chosen charity for years to come!
