Donate
 Maximizing financial support for the children is important to us. One Child's Village functions solely on the contributions of volunteers and none of the organization's members are remunerated for their efforts. We attempt to keep overhead costs to a bare minimum, ensuring that almost 100% of the contributions received go directly toward the Village's designated projects.
