How we work

We follow a number of principles to carry out our work. We stick to our promises and all our projects are fully completed. We feel great responsibility to spend all donations effectively. Please read below more about the way we operate:

1) Laxmi Support negotiates a fair price for all items purchased:
The fairest possible price is negotiated for all items purchased. Due to our experience, we have a thorough knowledge of the costs of various materials and also where to purchase the materials. This helps us to agree a good price with the relevant retailers/wholesalers.

2) Laxmi Support strives to ensure that all donations go directly to the projects and are spent effectively:
Expenditures for the projects are paid directly to local retailers by Laxmi Support. There is no intervention from third parties and this means that we can keep good control over our expenses. Flight ticket costs and accommodation costs are covered by the Laxmi Support volunteers themselves. Taxi costs in Nepal and the rental of the jeep for visiting the schools are reimbursed from the sponsorship money. An overview of our annual administration can also be found on the website: https://laxmi-support.com/laxmi-support/administratie

3) Laxmi Support guarantees good feedback to our donors:
We strive for openness and transparency of our activities and expenditure in Nepal. That is why we send an email newsletter several times a year containing information about planned and completed actions. We also maintain a Facebook page with general news from Nepal and news from our projects. Find all our newsletters here.

4) Laxmi Support uses local workers and businesses:
We aim to purchase the items as local as possible and use local workers as much as possible for each project. In this way the local economy is supported and the involvement villagers is also increased.
