Donate to Meridian Aid
Fund the checks that make every story trustworthy.
A gift here goes to Meridian Aid itself rather than to one story. It keeps the work behind every story going.
What your gift pays for
Checking stories in person
Two local partners visit, confirm identity and check every document and cost before a story goes live.
Paying partners fairly
Partners are paid the same whatever they find, so nobody earns more for saying yes.
People who answer
Staff who review every report, support applicants and reply to your messages.
Safe payments and records
Secure card and mobile money payments, receipts and a record of every decision on every story.
Want your gift to reach one person or family?
Every story is checked by two local partners, and the money is paid to the school, hospital or supplier.
