Since it began, Kiota has always given 100% of its donations where they are needed most - to projects in Tanzania.  In the past, this has meant Trustees footing all the administration costs. However, as the charity has grown, this has become increasingly difficult. Following several discussions, Trustees have felt that, in order for the charity to continue successfully, a small portion of donations will have to go towards running costs.  These costs, (which include printing and postage) are minimal and will not exceed 3% of the charity’s income (starting in May 2008)  We hope that our supporters understand our predicament and back us in our decision.
