AEP is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation. All donations are tax deductible to the extent provided by law.
Contributions are used to operate the Amos Youth Centre and maintain its programs,
to support educational sponsorships, continue The Breakfast Club (a daily
sustenance program) and cover costs of shipping containers of donated goods.
100% of donated funds are allocated to programs. All the work performed by the U.S. staff is on a volunteer basis.
AEP works hard to ensure that maximum benefit is attained for each dollar
donated. Here is an overview of the current operating costs. The budget for
the center is $2,500 per month for salaries, rent, utilities and programs.
Educational sponsorships cost $225 per year for High School and $2,000 per
year for College. The Breakfast Club which provides one meal per day costs
30 cents for each student. Shipping costs are approximately $10,000 for a 24-foot
