Every cent that is donated though this website will be spent on education projects overseas.  In essence, you are not making a donation to Suas, you are making a donation to one of our trusted Partner organisations overseas.

For further information have a look at the section below 'The Difference Your Money Can Make'.

 

As you can see below, a small donation can have a large effect on the education projects that you will be supporting in India and Kenya.

If you are a PAYE worker in the Republic of Ireland and you are generous enough to donate over €250 per annum, you can increase the value of the donation to Suas at no extra cost to you.

Suas can reclaim an extra 25% of the value of your donations if you are a standard rate tax payer of 20%. For example, if you have given €250 over the course of a year, this will be worth an extra €63 to Suas.

Suas can reclaim an extra 72% of the value of your donations if you are a higher rate taxpayer of 42%. For example, if you have given €250 over the course of a year, this is worth an extra €181 to Suas
