Dhaka Interim Girls Home Appeal

HOHI in partnership with our Bangladesh friends is building a large safe house for girls who will be rescued from human trafficking in Bangladesh.

A new large “safe house” home is currently being built and will be completed in April/May 2021.

In the meantime, our Dhaka team have rescued 3 small girls before COVID made further rescues dangerous. The three girls are in care with House Parents and a Social Worker. Our Dhaka partner will continue with rescues once COVID abates in Bangladesh.

There are many girls who need to be rescued and brought into a healing environment where they can begin the journey of trauma recovery. We plan to accept up to 6 girls into the temporary home while the large facility is being completed. The new home will accommodate over 24 girls with their carers and support team. You can support this project by donating or by sponsoring a girl.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why donate to HOHI?

HOHI is managed by a great team of volunteers and has only one part time paid office administrator. With low overheads of 10% for administration and 7% for compliance, HOHI ensures that 83% reaches the children and women in need. HOHI also provides the possibility of contact with your sponsor child through letter writing or a video connection. Some sponsors also join a team that visits the various projects.

Where does the other ±10% go?

There are always costs involved in managing not for profit organizations. HOHI employs an administrator who manages sponsorships and the HOHI office. There are costs involved in media, insurance, phones, communication with sponsors, etc. We are careful to ensure we are good stewards with every donated dollar.

What percentage of funds go directly to the needy?

For most projects, 90% of donated funds go directly to the needy. In rare cases, that percentage goes down to 83%. Our aim is to keep that number as high as possible.

Feel free to contact us directly if you have further inquiries on this matter.

Would my donation be tax-deductible?

All donations over $2 are tax deductible. Receipts are issued through Global Development Group.

Won’t we always have the poor with us? How can my donation possibly make a difference?

The problem of world poverty is enormous and can often seem unconquerable. Looking at the overwhelming nature of world poverty can be discouraging. However, by approaching the problem one child at a time, lives can be saved. By sponsoring a child today, you are giving hope to one person, helping take away their suffering and offering them a better life. We change the world one person at a time.

How long will my child sponsorship last?

Children will remain in a HOHI sponsorship programme until they turn 18, or are adopted, or until we find foster care for them, or until they graduate from college or with other qualifications and can be employed. We understand that sometimes the financial situation of a sponsor changes, and they are no longer able to continue sponsoring a HOHI child. If your financial situation as a sponsor changes, we ask that you contact us as soon as possible.

Can I correspond with my sponsor child?

Your letters are most welcome. Please contact the HOHI office for more information if you would like to write a letter to your sponsor child.

Aren’t I already giving to the poor through the taxes I pay to the Australian government?

The Australian government gives 0.4% of its budget to international aid. The UN recommended percentage of a country’s budget allocated to international aid is 0.7%. The Australian government falls short. Even if the Australian government could reach this standard, it would not be enough to eradicate poverty. We need your help to break the cycle of poverty.
