# RWB Charity — Full Context > RWB Charity (Retinue Without Border / همراهان بدون مرز) is a Denmark-registered nonprofit organization (CVR: 41484527) working to reduce poverty and advance social welfare through sustained support for underprivileged children and families in Iran — education, educational infrastructure, family assistance, disaster relief, and empowerment through education and employment. Its programs run in Iran; its supporters are international. ## Mission RWB Charity believes every child deserves an education regardless of their circumstances. The organization provides monthly recurring financial sponsorships directly to students and families in need, primarily in Iran, enabling them to continue their education and improve their quality of life. Programs are long-term and relationship-based — not one-time donations. ماموریت همراهان بدون مرز: این باور که هر کودکی، صرف‌نظر از شرایطش، شایسته آموزش است. این انجمن حمایت مالی ماهیانه و مستمر برای دانش‌آموزان و خانواده‌های نیازمند، عمدتاً در ایران، فراهم می‌کند. ## Impact Summary _Figures below are generated from RWB's own published performance table at rwb.charity/reports and refreshed daily._ - **Programs delivered:** 206 (2016–2026) - **People covered:** 31,889 - **Total raised:** €601,019.34 - **Total spent on programs and campaigns:** €421,183.89 - **Iranian provinces hosting programs:** 17 since 2016 (far fewer run concurrently in any one year) - **Countries and companies donations have come from:** 57 unique in total — RWB's *programs* run in Iran; this counts where its supporters are, not where it operates - **Of those, individual donor countries:** 33 (the remainder are companies giving through corporate-matching platforms) - **Founded:** 2016 informally, by Iranian students in Italy; registered as a Danish nonprofit in 2020 - **Legal registration:** Denmark (CVR 41484527), verifiable at virk.dk آمار تاثیرگذاری: ۲۰۶ طرح حمایتی از سال ۲۰۱۶ تاکنون، ۳۱٬۸۸۹ نفر تحت پوشش، و ۶۰۱٬۰۱۹ یورو مجموع کمک‌های دریافتی. کمک‌ها از ۵۷ کشور و شرکت دریافت شده است (از این میان ۳۳ کشور)؛ طرح‌های اجرایی در ایران انجام می‌شود. ## Focus Areas ### Education Support Direct and indirect financial support for the education of underprivileged children — monthly tuition, school supplies, and educational materials. ### Family Assistance Direct and indirect financial support for needy families' essential living expenses. ### Educational Infrastructure Building, improving, and equipping educational infrastructure for underserved schools and communities. ### Disaster Relief Special assistance during natural disasters — emergency humanitarian response. ### Empowerment Through Education and Employment Programs supporting empowerment through education and job-creation — vocational and livelihood support for older youth and families. These five are how RWB presents its work publicly. Its internal reporting tracks two further categories that appear in the Impact Statistics table below and carry real project counts: educational and medical scholarships for underprivileged students (the Edumed programme described under Active Campaigns), and public and personal health projects. حوزه‌های فعالیت: حمایت تحصیلی مستقیم و غیرمستقیم، حمایت مالی از خانواده‌های نیازمند، ساخت و تجهیز زیرساخت‌های آموزشی، کمک‌های ویژه در بلایای طبیعی، و توانمندسازی از طریق آموزش و اشتغال‌زایی. در گزارش‌های آماری انجمن دو دسته دیگر نیز ثبت می‌شود: بورسیه‌های تحصیلی و درمانی، و پروژه‌های حوزه بهداشت. ## How Donations Work - Donors choose a recurring or one-time amount on the donation page - Payments processed via Stripe (credit/debit card) or PayPal - Minimum recurring donation: varies by campaign - The donation form detects the donor's location and sets the currency, country and phone code automatically — donors give in their own currency, with no manual conversion step - Donors receive email confirmations and can manage donations, and view their full donation history, via the Donor Dashboard - Annual receipts provided for tax purposes where applicable - Funds are never distributed as cash to beneficiaries — money is routed through vetted in-country partner organizations and paid directly for specific costs (tuition, medical care, food) کمک مالی می‌تواند یک‌بار یا ماهیانه باشد و از طریق استرایپ یا پی‌پال پرداخت می‌شود. فرم همیاری بر پایه موقعیت مکانی همیار، واحد پول و کشور و پیش‌شماره تلفن را به‌صورت خودکار تنظیم می‌کند. سابقه کمک‌ها در پنل کاربری همیار در دسترس است. کمک‌های مالی هرگز به‌صورت نقدی به ذینفعان پرداخت نمی‌شود؛ از طریق سازمان‌های همکار محلی و برای هزینه‌های مشخص هزینه می‌شود. ## Active Campaigns Current recurring causes: see https://rwb.charity/recurring-causes/. Three named monthly programs run continuously: - Breakfast program, South Khorasan province — €600/month, feeds 600 students across 16 schools (€1/student) - Transportation service, South Khorasan province — €400/month, covers 80 students across 11 schools (€5/student) - Orphan boys' dormitory, Lorestan province — €200/month, supports 20 boys (€10/boy) "Edumed Scholarships" is RWB's virtual guardianship program: €30/month per student, a 1-year renewable commitment, around 60 students sponsored at any given time (the exact count changes as sponsorships start and end). Funds are never given as cash — they cover school supplies, tutoring, and medical costs directly. Sponsors receive 2 progress reports per year. RWB is a registered nonprofit on major corporate-matching platforms: Benevity, Millie, Deed, YourCause, GoodStack, and GivingForce — employees at partner companies can have their donation matched (donor-initiated, typically 1:1). Donors can dedicate a donation in memory of someone, or as a celebration gift, via a toggle on the standard donation form. کمپین‌های فعال شامل برنامه صبحانه، سرویس ایاب‌وذهاب و خوابگاه پسران یتیم در استان‌های خراسان جنوبی و لرستان است. طرح «بورسیه ادومد» حمایت مالی ماهیانه ۳۰ یورویی از دانش‌آموزان است. کمک‌های شرکتی از طریق پلتفرم‌های همیاری شرکتی (Benevity، Millie، Deed و دیگران) نیز پذیرفته می‌شود. ## Annual Reports Published at https://rwb.charity/reports/ — full financial statements, program outcomes, and beneficiary statistics, one report per year covering 2018 onward.
