Terms

The terms this site is offered under, and what happens to a donation once it is made.

A donation is a gift

It is not a purchase and buys you nothing. You receive no goods, no service and no entitlement in return, which is what makes it a donation rather than a transaction.

Choosing a project guides us, it does not bind us

When you pick a project, your gift goes to that work. If it is already funded for the year, or circumstances change, we move it to the closest related work and say so in our reporting rather than holding it unspent.

Payments and mistakes

Donations are taken by Selcom on its own secure payment page (card, mobile money or TanQR); Selcom's terms apply to the payment itself. Gifts are charged in US dollars. A receipt is emailed when the payment is confirmed; if it does not arrive, tell us. Monthly gifts are not charged automatically: each month we email you a link to give again, and you can stop at any time. Made a mistake? If you gave the wrong amount, gave twice, or meant to give to a different project, write to info@zaratanzaniacharity.org within 14 days and we will refund or redirect it. We would rather return a gift than keep one somebody did not mean to make.

The figures on this site are dated

Impact numbers carry the date they were measured and where they came from. Where a figure has no source on file, we do not publish it.

Photographs belong to the charity

The photographs on this site are ours or used with permission, and every one of a person is published with their consent or a guardian's. Please do not reuse them without asking.

Using this site

The site is provided as it is. We keep it accurate and available, but we do not guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error-free, and the project pages describe work in progress rather than promises. Links to our sister travel businesses and to partner organisations are provided for convenience; we are not responsible for what is on someone else's site.
