Is donating
online secure?
Yes. We know that security is very
important to you, just as it is to us
Credit card and online check donations are processed by ClickandPledge.com, our secure online credit card processors.
You also have the option of donating through PayPal.
Both processors use the highest internet security technology (like
banks do) to protect you and us when you make contributions through our
donation links.
We never pass check or credit card
information by email or in any insecure way, and we
never store unencrypted data on our servers.
Secure server technology has made online contributions
to us just as safe as using your checkbook or credit
card to shop around town or over the phone.

Will you tell me what my donation was specifically used for?
To keep our
administration costs to a minimum and to help as many
children as possible,
we are not able to send customized project details to
every single donor.
However, we will send specific information for a
contribution of $1000.00 or more, unless you ask us not to.
General mission
information will be available in the form of an online
newsletter soon.

Do you help children in the USA?
Yes. We have a USA benevolent fund

people here in the USA. These are commonly in the form
of school supplies, birthday and Christmas gifts, meals, winter clothing

Will I get a
receipt of my donation?
Yes. Every time you make a
contribution, no mater how small, an acknowledgment
receipt
will be sent to the e-mail or address that you specify.

Do you share my information
with other companies?
No. Christian Hands considers your
information to be strictly confidential.

|
|
Do you have a brochure?
No. We are too young to have a brochure, and the cost of having one would not be
justifiable at this time. We are concentrating on
getting your donations to the children instead of
producing publications.
The only way
we could have a brochure at this stage of our
development would be through a printing
company donation. If you would like to help us, please
let us know.
