One Time Donation to Support the Purified Water/Education Program
Monthly Donations to Support the Purified Water/Education Program
Your AMERICAN tax-deductible donations are urgently needed to make our goal of saving thousands of lives in Uganda a reality. We welcome people of all countries to support our life saving mission.
Please join us in this most urgent effort to help those that are unable to help themselves due to the conditions where millions of rural people live every day, uneducated about the health benefits of safe water and the lack of available clean water at home, schools and government health centers.
Please open your heart to this great need, God will bless you as well as the people of Uganda. Your donations will be used to fund installation of the water purification systems at rural schools and health centers in all 127 Districts of Uganda. WE pledge every nickel YOU donate will go directly to support our stated mission.

HELP OUR CAUSE
Your support and contributions will enable us
to meet our mission goals of saving lives in Uganda. The need is great!
For every school or health facility to which you contribute enough money to install a purification system or systems, a plaque commemorating your name or organization will be placed on one of school or health center buildings. You will also receive a letter of appreciation from the principal or doctor in charge of the facility. You or your organization name, with your approval, will be displayed on Maji Salama, Inc. web site as a star donor acknowledging the school or health facility your contribution made possible.
For those who donate an amount for less than a whole purification system, as we collect enough smaller donations to install a purification system, a plaque commemorating the people of the country that provided the funds will be affix to a facility building that will read as example, "Clean Water System/educational program Provided by the People of America" or by other country that donated the money.
FUNDING RESOURCES
Your donation will be used to purchase and install the purification equipment and support the overhead necessary to manage and control the overall mission activities. Our policy is to keep overhead cost with in 10% to 15% . As an example, our Board Members will not receive any compensation for serving. The current selected full time President will not receive any salary from donor funds.
The Ugandan Government has agreed to develop and implement, with assistance from Maji Salama, Inc., an education program about the benefits of clean water and will maintain water systems as they are installed at each location at their expense. They also agreed to forego any taxes and fees associated with our in-country charitable activities. The above commitment shows that the Uganda Government fully supports this program both with their resources and time to help make it a success.
The Henry Foster Trust has funded the installation of water purification systems for 2,400 school children and 140,000 supported health center and the program administration efforts to-date, August 2019 including the design of the water system and coordinating the benefits of the water system combined with the health educational program to all levels of the Government of Uganda and the administrative efforts required by the American and Uganda Governments. The Henry Foster Trust will continue to provide funding within Trust resources.
IN SUMMARY
Again, we urge you to help us save lives and be a part of improving the life expectancy of the total Ugandan population.
We believe when the generational lifesaving benefits of our water program in Uganda become known, other charity organizations and nations of Africa will follow our lead. Your dollars spent in Uganda may inspire other African Nations and Charities to implement similar water purification/health related educational programs to save lives.
The bank is only authorized to dispense funds as authorized by the President or Vice President and an authorized representative of a CPA firm selected by the Board of Directors. The CPA will be responsible for an independent review of each expenditure to ensure it is being provided for installation of water purification equipment and systems and related overhead support.
The Board of Directors will hire another independent CPA firm to perform a yearly audit of Maji Salama, Inc. expenditures to ensure the funds spent meet all requirements of the US approved 501(c)(3) charity accounting principles. Each donor will be given electronic access to the year end audit and its findings.
Overhead expenses are kept to the minimum as Board of Directors and current appointed President are non-salaried positions. Board meeting travel expenses are charged as direct expenditures.
Donors will receive quarterly progress reports of donations and have access to the company through email at maji.salama@majisalama.org at any time.
Donors are provided a receipt of their donations that meet 501(c)(3) tax deductible requirements.
