FAQ

Answers to some of the most common questions we receive from our supporters, volunteers, and community members.
What percentage of my donation goes directly to the beneficiaries?

Approximately 85–90% of all donations support direct services—like feeding programs for youth, medical help for the elderly, or education support in Makindye. The remaining goes toward minimal operational needs such as transport and basic admin.

Can I get involved beyond just donating?

Yes! You can volunteer on the ground in Makindye or support us remotely. Roles range from mentoring youth during sports activities to organizing donation drives or handling logistics. Every skill counts!

Is Makindye Mobile Initiative a registered organization?

Yes. MMI is fully registered and works in partnership with local authorities, schools, and health centers in Kampala. Our legitimacy is rooted in the communities we serve.

Can I decide how my donation is used?

Definitely. You can choose to support a specific cause like youth football leagues, elderly care, or teenage rehab. If you don't specify, your donation will be directed to the most urgent need.

Are donations to MMI tax-deductible?

Yes, your donations are eligible for tax deductions. We provide official receipts, and you can confirm deductibility with your local tax authority or our finance team.
