We Treat Trust as a Sacred Gift.
When you pray, give, or partner with Venunye Foundation, you are placing precious trust in us. This page shows how we handle that trust—with clear communication, careful stewardship, and open hands.
How Your Support Flows Through Venunye
We aim to keep overhead lean while caring well for the people and systems that make this work possible. Below is a simple example of how funds might be allocated in a year. You can replace these with your real percentages as you grow.
- ✔Program Impact: The majority of funds go directly into programs—education, feeding, widows, and community projects.
- ✔Healthy Operations: A smaller portion sustains coordination, communication, and basic admin so programs stay strong.
- ✔Future Growth: Some funds may support long-term capacity building, like farm projects or tools.
This is an example breakdown; change the numbers to match your actual finances:
| Category | Example % | What This Supports |
|---|---|---|
| Programs & Direct Support | 75% | Education, feeding, widows, farms, community outreach. |
| Administration & Operations | 15% | Coordination, communication, basic admin, systems. |
| Fundraising & Awareness | 10% | Sharing the story, donor care, keeping supporters informed. |

What Transparency Means to Venunye
For us, transparency is not just about sharing documents—it’s about posture. We want supporters, partners, and communities in Ghana to feel seen, heard, and respected.
Clear Use of Funds
We share how funds are used in simple language. You don’t need to be an accountant to understand where your support is going.
- ✔Program vs admin breakdowns.
- ✔Project-specific updates where possible.
Honest Storytelling
We share real stories without exaggeration. We celebrate progress and also acknowledge limitations and ongoing needs.
- ✔Dignity-first photos and words.
- ✔No “poverty tourism” or shock tactics.
Two-Way Accountability
We welcome questions from donors and feedback from communities in Ghana. Transparency flows in both directions.
- ✔Channels to ask questions.
- ✔Listening to local leaders & families.
