How do I start supporting a mother?
Fill in the short Get Involved form and someone from our team contacts you within a few days. We explain how the pairing works, send you our welcome package, and set up your support with you personally. We do not take payment on this website.
Where does my money go?
Most of your $28 goes straight to the mother you are paired with in Tamileelam. A small part covers bank transfer fees. We show full records every three months.
Can I choose who I support?
We match you with a mother based on need and who is waiting for support. You will know her name and can receive updates about her.
Will I receive updates?
Yes. We send updates on how your money is helping. You can also log into your account to see your donation history.
Can I pause or cancel my donation?
Yes. You can pause or cancel anytime from your account. No fees. No questions asked.
Is Annai Foundation a registered charity?
We are a volunteer-run community organization. No one on our team takes a salary. All operational work is done by volunteers.
How do I know the money reaches the right person?
We work with a trusted local partner in Tamileelam who distributes the funds directly to each mother. We verify receipts and share updates with donors.
Can the mother contact me?
This depends on your privacy settings. When you sign up, you can choose how much information you want to share. Some donors and mothers exchange letters.
What if I want to donate more than $28?
Tell us on the Get Involved form and we will arrange it when we speak. Every extra dollar goes directly to increasing support for mothers in need.
