This programme aims at offering an education to the children of Lurgi parish in India

Lurgi is a small village located 68 Kilometres from Ambikapur, Chhattisgarh State, India. Though it is in the middle of the jungle, it is rich in its natural resources. The majority of the population are poor and illiterate. They are from the tribal groups of Koraku and Oram who are mostly neglected by the government.

The local community recognised the real need for good education for their children in order to create a better future for the coming generations.

In 2017 the Mill Hill Missionaries opened a new school with a few classrooms and minimal facilities. At present, 110 pupils are being educated in this school from Nursery to Class V, with 7 teaching and 2 non-teaching staff.

    By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Mill Hill Missionaries to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Mill Hill Missionaries will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

    What is Gift Aid?

    Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Mill Hill Missionaries receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

    All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

    The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
