Why we need volunteers?

Help us fund volunteers who we may require but cannot afford to have in the organisation with the necessary skills, experience or expertise needed to handle issues in the organisation!

We face Unique Challenges and benefit from Volunteer Contributions:

With limited resources the Organisation operates under a tight budget, volunteers can provide essential labour, reducing costs and allowing the organization to allocate funds to direct services and programs.

With a language barrier local dialect volunteers can help bridge communication gaps and ensure that victims and at-risk individuals receive the support they need.

With technical expertise to help in areas like cybersecurity, data analysis, and online investigation. Volunteers with these skills can provide invaluable support, which is especially important as the perpetrators of these crimes are often very tech-savvy.

With victim Support expertise, volunteers can bring and provide emotional support, counselling, and practical assistance to survivors of online human trafficking and online cybersecurity.

With advocacy and lobbying with volunteers participating in advocacy efforts to influence policy and legislation related to online human trafficking including Volunteers helping communicate with, and educate local law enforcement.

With monitoring and reporting volunteers can help with monitoring online platforms for signs of trafficking activity and reporting such to the appropriate authorities.

Limited internet literacy can make people more vulnerable to online exploitation. Volunteers can help bridge this gap with poverty and economic hardship driving people into desperate situations, making them more susceptible to trafficking. Volunteers help provide alternative pathways and support.

FAQ

What type of organisation is Yope?

A charitable trust dealing with online human trafficking and online cybercrime.

Is my donation tax-deductible?

Yes, in most Countries donations would be tax deductible

Where does my money actually go?

Funding goes to specific or general activities such as:

Program Services, the core activities of the charity’s work such as the direct costs of delivering the organization’s programs and services to its beneficiaries.

Administrative Costs associated with running the organization include salaries for administrative staff, rent and utilities for office space, accounting and legal fees, and information technology.

Fundraising Costs incurred in raising funds like direct mail campaigns and online fundraising platforms, fundraising events, and salaries for fundraising staff.

There may be other potential spending like investing money to generate more income.

Key Considerations are transparency, efficiency, and program effectiveness.

What percentage of my donation goes towards programs?

Organizations like CharityWatch suggest that a high-efficiency rating is when a charity spends 75% or more of its expenses on charitable programs.

There’s no single perfect number. Ideally, you want a high percentage going to programs, but some administrative costs are essential for a charity to function effectively.

The size of the charity may influence the percentage, e.g. smaller charities may have lower overhead costs whilst larger charities may have higher administrative costs but can also achieve greater scale and impact.

Also, the type of charity may influence the percentage, e.g. charities providing emergency relief will naturally have very high program expenses whilst others like research institutions, may have higher administrative costs.
