100% of all donations go directly towards feeding the poor. All relief activities are carried out by volunteers, and no one receives any salary at all. In addition to this there are no expenses for office, rent, etc., as our Ashram in which we conduct these activities is financed independently. You can be certain that all of your donation goes directly to feeding the poor and for nothing else.
