Our
Finances
It is important for Solafrica to provide transparent information about its financial situation. You will find information about the origin as well as the use of the funds. The figures presented relate to the 2020 reporting year.
Use of funds in 2020
The increase in funds for administration can be attributed, on the one hand, to reduced or deferred project expenses as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. At the same time, in 2020, we reorganised the accounting department and greatly expanded the donor database. This represents an important investment to ensure that we can continue to manage our growing organisation well and efficiently in the future.
