Questions about donating

What can I donate, and is it really free?

Clean clothes and shoes in good condition, toys without batteries, children’s books and school supplies, bedding, towels and baby items. Flying a donation is free: we reserve space on our flights every month for charity.

Each donation can weigh up to 20 kg. We can’t take food, medicines, cosmetics, electronics or anything damaged.

Can I send a donation to a specific family?

No. Donations go only to partner organisations: children’s homes, care homes and mahalla programmes that hand items to people in need. To send to your own family, use a normal parcel instead.

You can choose the cause, or a specific partner organisation.

Does the monthly customs limit apply to donations?

No personal limit applies to you or to anyone in Uzbekistan: donations travel together as charity cargo addressed to the organisation, which provides its own documents to customs. That’s why we don’t ask for a recipient’s passport or PINFL.

How do I know my donation arrived?

Every donation gets a tracking number. Once our Tashkent team assigns the organisation, its name appears on the tracking page, and we send you a photo when the items are handed over.

Are you a charity or care home in Uzbekistan?

Registered children’s homes, care homes and mahalla programmes can apply to receive donations.
