Every cent that is donated through 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. Below are links to more information about each of our Partner organisations. For further information about how your donations can specifically aid education overseas, have a look at the section below 'The Difference Your Money Can Make'.
Donations from this page will be put into a ring-fenced fund to be given entirely to whichever organisation has the greatest need currently. To direct your donation to a specific Partner organisation, please use the donation box on that Partner's page (links above).
