Micro-Humanitarian Instant Impact
Who are we?
The Small Projects Team
Ukraine has a huge number of humanitarian micro-projectsThese are often set up by individuals, sometimes victims themselves, in response to an emergency or a specific need. These projects are often not structured as organisations and have little access to funding outside their first circles of acquaintance.
While social networks can now help these initiatives to gain a degree of visibility, it is still very difficult for them to make themselves known and to receive aid, not least because donors are keen to ensure that their funds are used on the ground.
The Small Projects Team's mission is to create immediate impact projects directly with the beneficiaries. We collect financial and in-kind donations and manage all the logistics, right down to the last kilometre. We guarantee our donors accurate and transparent reporting on the use of funds in the field.
66%
Your donations entitle you to an income tax reduction in France of 66 % of the amount paid.
100%
As TSPT relies solely on volunteers, 100% of donations are used on the ground.
The Small Projects Team was set up by Charles Tiné and Magda Masquelier as a result of meetings between international volunteers in Ukraine, Poland and France. Its mission is to have a direct and rapid humanitarian impact by creating and running field projects and providing donors with detailed monitoring and reporting on the impact of their donations. These projects can cover a wide range of sectors (children, evacuations, medical, etc.) and can also involve entrepreneurial projects as part of the reconstruction of affected areas. In all our actions, we subscribe to the fundamental values of humanitarianism, and are non-religious, independent and non-political.
We aim to bring speed and transparency to humanitarian financial flows. Our project selection process is strict and we ensure the legitimacy of the projects to avoid any form of scam. Once the funds are received, they are sent to the field as quickly as possible. We then obtain the expenditure tables with supporting documents, which we integrate into illustrated reports communicated to our donors.
We guarantee project leaders a detailed study of their needs, and sympathetic support throughout the application process. Once the application is complete, we guarantee a decision within 3 days. In the same spirit, we guarantee our donors that their funds will be sent to the field as quickly as possible to maximise their impact, if necessary with the help of partners that we have carefully selected. Our organisation is 100% voluntary and all funds raised are paid back to the beneficiaries.
