How the money is handled
- 01
It is counted by two people
Never one. Both sign the sheet, and neither of them is on staff.
- 02
It is banked within a day
Nothing sleeps in the building. The bank slip is attached to the count sheet.
- 03
It is spent against a budget
The budget is set once a year by the members and any payment over 500,000 shillings needs three signatures.
- 04
It is published
Every quarter, in full, on this site. An outside firm audits it once a year.
Before you give
Is there a minimum?
No, and nobody is told what anyone gave. The count sheet records totals, not names, unless you ask for a receipt.
Can I give to one programme only?
Yes. Say which one and it goes there in full. That is tracked separately in the quarterly report.
Can I stop?
At any time, with no conversation about it. Standing arrangements are cancelled the day you ask.
