Child Protection Policy
The Bumala Trust is fully committed to protecting the security, privacy and dignity of the children we support.
Children have the right to be completely secure from fear and abuse both physically and emotionally, as a result we do not include last names or locations so protecting them from being easily identified. We intentionally withhold this information until after the identity of the sponsor is verified.
The sponsorship process is dependent upon your agreement, as a sponsor, that you will not attempt to contact a sponsored child, without permission from The Bumala Trust, in particular, no unplanned visits to the child’s residence and community, this is forbidden without written permission, and all visitors will be accompanied by a representative of the Charity.
All postal mail and packages sent, must be addressed to our representative in Bumala.
Our children and their families must be assured that The Bumala Trust is protecting the integrity of the information, including photographs that are shared about them with the public. Privacy also demands that children, their families and communities be shielded from any potential inappropriate contact from sponsors or others.
The children we help are not objects to be pitied, but are partners with us in the process of bringing spiritual, physical, psychological and social aid to communities in poverty, and in doing so may transform the hearts of those who work with us to achieve this.
We are committed to portraying the life situation of the children, families and communities we serve with accuracy and dignity. We seek the full, informed consent of guardians, and /or community leaders for a child’s participation in our child sponsorship program.
