0%. If you make a donation towards orphan sponsorship on the website, 100% of your donation will go to supporting the orphans expenses. Any donation made on the website is used only for the immediate needs of the orphans. Any other projects (construction, etc.) are on our crowdfunding pages and are clearly marked. The only overhead involved in that is the fees required by the crowdfunding website/associated payment fees.

We solicit donations to cover our operation costs directly, rather than taking a percentage of a donation earmarked for orphans. We wanted to ensure that anyone who donates has full transparency and the peace of mind of knowing that all of their donation is going exactly to the purpose they have designated. That said, we always appreciate and encourage people to donate to support the structure of the organization as well. If you are interested in doing so, please contact us at admin@yawareducational.org to find out more ways to get involved.
