Donations

HCC is supported entirely through generous donations and volunteer efforts. The Menezes family volunteers their time to administer the program in Canada (accounting, e-mails, newsletters etc.). They maintain weekly communication with the staff and children in Sandema. Once per year, a Menezes family member travels to Ghana to monitor the program and ensure that activities are running smoothly.

With the exception of one plane ticket every three years and the nominal cost of mailing out our annual newsletters, all money received goes directly to Ghana. Staff in Ghana receive salaries according to local wage scales.
