Andrea e Chiara:

new ways of implementing

child support

Andrea and Chiara are a couple from Savona. They visited our

website and after meeting our staff, they decided to sponsor

two children, Iragi and Sandesh, who live in the Democratic

Republic of the Congo and Nepal, respectively. They supported

Helpcode by asking their families and friends to donate

to the “Pink Bicycles” project as a gift for Andrea’s birthday,

thus enabling us to buy new bicycles for Cambodian girls.

2021 was marked by great loyalty from our supporters. We registered a slight decrease in the

number of donors supporting individual children, but the total amount of donations to child

sponsorship increased.

Child sponsors

4,773 in 2020 > 4,638 in 2021

Active supporters

5,459 in 2020 > 5,217 in 2021

In 2021, 215 supporters accepted donating a larger amount, thus showing their greater loyalty

to their commitment.

One-time donors are deeply committed too. The number of people who in 2021 made

donations at least once has increased.

One-time donors

435 in 2020 > 545 in 2021 +25%

One-time donations made by our base of supporters have steadily increased. +14% (1,480

with respect to 1,296).

In 2022, we aim to start to systematically add new steady donors and supporters in Italy to be

able to better organize and fund projects dedicated to children all over the world.

We are committed to working to improve the relationship with our long-standing donors

and supporters informing them of our activities in Italy and the world and by enhancing the

exchange of information with children benefiting from sponsorship at a distance.

In 2021, individual donors were regularly informed of how their donations turned into projects

for children thanks to printed and digital communication. All individual donors receive two

issues a year of our in-house magazine and a monthly digital newsletter. Sponsors of

children at a distance receive twice a year receive a message and a drawing from the child

or the class they support. Helpcode complies with the EU GDPR (General Data Protection

Regulation) for privacy in all our communications.
