What percentage of GAIAs budget goes to people living in Malawi? How do I know my donation is being used effectively?
We are committed to keeping overhead costs at a minimum. In 2008, 85% of our budget went to programs in Malawi. We ensure that all funds going to remote villages reach each person and project for which they are intended, and we ensure the highest quality control through close monitoring and constant evaluation. We require comprehensive reports from the villages, rural hospitals, district health centers, and community-based organizations, and we deploy our local Malawi Staff to monitor, evaluate, and problem-solve when necessary to ensure the success of our work.
