Donations

Any donation you make will help us to achieve our objectives.

Our  students going into higher education, especially, need computers and other equipment which donations help fund.

We are registered with NowDonate, a charities platform which allows you to pay by bank debit or credit card.

If you donate, you can be confident in:

  • Knowing that the Trust is run by volunteers who draw no expenses, so 100% of what you donate goes to our children
  • Being able to rely on the Trustees, three of whom have visited Sikkim
  • Being able to increase your contribution by 25% through Gift Aid

Amazon Smile

The Children of Sikkim is enrolled with Amazon Smile in the UK. Shopping through smile.amazon.co.uk  gives access to the same shopping experience and goods as on the main Amazon website, but 0.5% of the purchase price is automatically donated to the Trust.

​You can get started here:

If you use a web browser, you can bookmark the smile.amazon.co.uk site to make sure you use that for purchases and not amazon.co.uk. In every other respect the site is the same, with all your information including shopping history, subscriptions etc.

If you use the Amazon App for iOS or Android, you can use Settings to activate  Amazon Smile.

CHANGE A LIFE TODAY

The Children of Sikkim exists to support the education of disadvantaged children from Sikkim, in the Himalaya, NE India.

We are a UK registered charity which helps such children to be educated in Sikkim and elsewhere in India, from primary school through to college or university.

We give a young person continuity of support so as to allow them to achieve their potential.
