What it says it does
Compassionate Hearts Network (CHN) finds, fund raise and fulfill charity projects for the benefit of the most deserving individuals of our society. Upon receiving a request directly or indirectly, we do our own background verification before we decide to approve the cause. Once it is approved, we reach out to generous donors to raise the required funds to fund that cause. Our projects (or causes), once accepted are managed by a project sponsor who funds a major part of the project cost. The remaining funds will be collected from interested donors. In that regard, CHN work as a platform where anyone can implement their dream charity project once it's reviewed and approved by the director board. CHN assures that 100% of the raised funds are donated to to the cause (project). All administrative costs are covered by its director board members annual membership fees.
