How will donations be matched and what does this mean?

Matched funding means that any donation made is matched, or doubled. In a UK Aid Match campaign, only donations made by individuals living in the UK will be eligible for matched funding, as the match funding comes from the UK government’s international development budget. 

This means, all donations made by a UK citizen during the 3 month campaign period will be doubled by the UK government, up to £2 million.

Where will donations go?

100% of the match funds from the UK government will be used to support female livestock owners in remote rural Afghanistan. Half of the donations we receive from the public will also support this work, and the other half will go towards supporting our general work across Afghanistan, supporting families to recover and rebuild their lives, adapt to climate change and strengthen their resilience to future crises.
