We sincerely appreciate your generosity, and pormise to make any donation count!

If you have a friend or family member joining us this summer, please make your donation through their individual page HERE. The donation will be processed the same, but will help them reach their fundraising goal!

"For only $50 you can provide a child with one year of school

supplies and uniforms", C. Jones - Hands Across Africa Co-Founder

All donations of $20 CAD or more will receive a tax receipt from Hands Across Africa's sister organization (Change For Children). Donations made online will be processed through www.canadahelps.org, but all donations will be in support of Hands Across Africa and delivered by Axel and Mike.

Donations can also be made by cheque. Please make all cheque donations out to "Change for Children" with a note indicating "Ride For Afica" somewhere on the cheque. Cheques can be delivered in person or mailed to "Change for Children - 2nd floor, 10808-124 street, Edmonton, AB. Canada T5M 0E9.

Finally, you can also call Change for Children to donate by credit card at 780-448-1505. Again, please indicate that you are supporting the Ride For Africa project!

Where does my money go ?

"All collected funds go 100%

to charity", A. Hallbauer (Co-Founder of RFA).

At the current stage we are able and willing to privately fund the project. We decided that all funds collected will go 100% to charity.

With this gesture we hope to signal that none of our sponsors and donators is supporting a road trip of two persons. All proceeds will go to the groups we support. No profit will be made by the riders.

As mentioned, our goal is to raise at least C$ 50,000. If not specifically mentioned differently by donator 100% of the funds go to HAA. If you require a tax receipt for your donations, by default 88% of the raised funds will go directly to Hands Across Africa. The other 12% will go to Change for Children and distributed as the organization sees fit.

Depending on the amount of sponsorship we receive there is a likelihood that sponsored products will be auctioned after the trip and funds raised will also go to the charity groups.

Here some examples what your donation will do!
