Terms and Conditions for Giving

SIM Southern Africa is very grateful for all donations made toward Christ’s work through our organization.

  1. Detailed description of services
    SIM Southern Africa is a non-profit organization in the Christian missionary industry that sends missionaries to locations within South Africa and to other countries. We also receive missionaries from other countries.
  2. Donation refund policy
    Refunds will only be considered due to errors made online, the supported missionary having left SIM, or the supported project no longer being active. Because SIM Southern Africa pays administrative fees on these deposits, those fees will be recovered on a refund.
  3. Donor Privacy policy
    SIM Southern Africa shall take all reasonable steps to protect the personal information of its donors as may be required. For the purpose of this clause, “personal information” shall be defined as detailed in the Promotion of Access to Information Act 2 of 2000 (PAIA). The PAIA may be downloaded from: http://www.polity.org.za/attachment.php?aa_id=3569.
    Should your gift be marked as “anonymous,” we will not pursue your personal information. Remember that the recipient of anonymous gifts cannot thank such donors and that SIM Southern Africa cannot refund or adjust anonymous gifts.
