Family and friends join in

This donation page is part of Tip ICT Running for charity. For this first kick-off campaign for Samui Street Dogs, family and friends can support too. In future campaigns, Tip ICT will take care of all the sponsoring itself. So it's actually a unique opportunity! 😉

€107.00 raised by family and friends

The campaign for individuals started on 30 September. The first contributions are already in!

The total is updated by hand, so it may take a little while before your contribution is included.

Why this charity?

Patrick's girlfriend Mandy did volunteer work here earlier this year. It is a small shelter that means a great deal locally. They give the dogs in their care a life worthy of an animal, but even more importantly, they are also changing attitudes in Thailand towards how dogs are treated. Sterilisation is a key pillar of that work.

Frequently asked questions

How much should I donate?

That is entirely up to you. You enter your own amount in the Tikkie, and every contribution is welcome.

Why Tikkie and not a sponsorship platform?

Sponsorship platforms keep part of every donation. With Tikkie, your entire contribution goes to Samui Street Dogs.

What does Samui Street Dogs do with the money?

Samui Street Dogs rescues, feeds and rehomes street dogs on the Thai island of Koh Samui, from its shelter The Haven in Maenam. The money goes to food, care and sterilisation. Sterilisation is a key pillar: it means fewer new street dogs, and the dogs that are there get a life worthy of an animal.

Why did Patrick choose Samui Street Dogs?

Patrick's girlfriend Mandy did volunteer work there earlier this year. It is a small shelter that means a great deal locally. Besides caring for the dogs, the shelter works on changing attitudes in Thailand towards how dogs are treated.

Does my donation really reach the dogs?

Yes. All contributions via Tikkie are transferred to Samui Street Dogs in one go. There is no sponsorship platform in between, so nothing is lost to platform fees.
