At SCCO, we believe in the power of community, and we are grateful for the generous support we receive from individuals, organizations, and families around the world.
As a registered charity, we are dependent on donations to continue our work in Andong. At the same time we also encourage families in Andong to invest in their children’s future by contributing to our educational programs, based on an in-depth family assessment.
Your involvement can make a meaningful impact on the lives of children and families in Andong. Here’s how you can get involved:
Make a Donation
Every donation, no matter how small, makes a lasting difference in the lives of the children and families in Andong. Your contribution helps fund essential needs such as teacher salaries, school supplies, family support, and more. We are committed to using your donation in the most sustainable and impactful way possible to ensure it directly supports our programs and services. From backpacks and books to first aid supplies and food, your donation creates opportunities for a better future for the children in Andong.
International donations
If you are based in Europe, you can make a donation through DARA Europe, our sister organization in the Netherlands, which supports SCCO’s mission. Similarly, if you are in New Zealand, you can donate through the Dara Children’s Trust. These options make it easier for supporters in these regions to contribute while taking advantage of local tax deductibility.
In-kind donations
We appreciate in-kind donations, such as books, furniture, and computers, if delivered directly to Andong. Due to the high cost of shipping internationally, we recommend making a monetary donation, which allows us to purchase items locally and support the local economy.
Volunteer
Volunteering with SCCO is a rewarding experience that can have a profound impact on both the volunteers and the community. If you are able to commit to at least three months, your presence in Andong will make a huge difference. Successful volunteers are passionate individuals who bring their skills, expertise, and enthusiasm to work alongside our dedicated team, collaborating to empower children and families.
We offer a wide range of volunteer opportunities suited to various skill sets and backgrounds. Whether you have a background in education, social work, project administration, or another area, your contribution will help our organization. Please note that we do not charge our volunteers, but we ask that you self-fund your travel and living expenses during your time with us. If you are excited about our programs and believe your skills would be a great fit, we would love to hear from you.
