WIT takes your privacy seriously and treats all financial information about any transaction you have with us as highly confidential.

We will not release or use this information for any other purpose unless we have your consent.

We do not trade or sell your personal information with other organisations.

We do not track, collect or distribute personal information entered by those who visit our website.

These processors collect certain information from donors, and you should consult their privacy policies to determine their practices.

Privacy of our email lists: Individuals who join our mailing lists via our website or through our other project engagements are added to our email database.
