The Trustees of Stichting 2 van de 52 (plus a few volunteers) wants to spend approx. 2 weeks out of 52 in the area to make an inventory of the needs, monitor the current situation, set up projects and talk to (local) governments, teachers and local people. This needs to be done with the help of one or preferably two local social workers. We are in weekly contact with a paid social worker who lives in the area and monitors the progress and makes sure all donations are spent the correct way. This man, Arbind Chaudhary, also prepares our visits.

Wilde Ganzen

Since 2022, 2 van de 52 has been collaborating with Wilde Ganzen. Thanks in part to the support of this organization, a "pre-secondary school" (a transitional step between primary and secondary school) was opened in 2023 on the grounds of Shree Sharwan Janta primary school.

In 2024, we received support from Wilde Ganzen for our "community development plan," an initiative that enables us to provide financial support for agriculture, education, and the maternity clinic.

From the website of Wilde Ganzen

Since 1957, we have been working toward a world without poverty. And we don’t do it alone. All around the world, people are driving change by rolling up their sleeves. Through small, smart projects, entrepreneurs are creating change and progress within their own communities.

These initiatives are created by local changemakers in collaboration with Dutch foundations. We support these partnerships with knowledge, a strong network, and funding. In this way, we assist those who take action to improve their communities by developing social facilities—from clean drinking water to inclusive education, and from medical care to financial independence.

Wilde Ganzen envisions a world where people living in poverty can improve their situation and future through their own efforts.

To tackle poverty worldwide, Wilde Ganzen supports projects initiated by the people themselves in low- and middle-income countries, with help from local organizations. Each year, we support hundreds of small-scale projects with funding, advice, expertise, and our network. For lasting results, we strongly focus on sustainability and self-reliance of people and the organizations within their communities.

Stichting 2 van de 52 has an ANBI-status which stands for Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling, i.e. Institution for general good purposes. This status has been awarded by the Dutch tax authorities. This has great financial advantages for the foundation and also enables Dutch sponsors/donors to make their gifts tax-deductable. The main condition is that the Foundation uses all income for General Good Purposes. Besides that the Foundation needs to publish (annual) goals and financial reports, approved by an official accountant, on this website.
