PERU needs your help! Flooding has caused devastation killing nearly 100 people and leaving thousands without food and water.

Gisborne

Peru is experiencing devastating floods. Nearly 100 people have died so far and thousands have been affected as homes, roads and bridges have been destroyed. Several cities have been disconnected and are without food and water. Help is needed to provide essential resources - such as food and water - to those affected, and to help rebuild.

Use of funds

Funds will be transferred to different responsible and trustworthy people in Peru who are providing help in affected zones. For example one group is assisting nuns in Chiclayo with iron roofing. Funds will be used to purchase water, food, clothing, iron roofing and first aid equipment.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
