World Vision is using the tsunami funds entrusted to us with the highest level of integrity and accountability. From the beginning of our response, we have upheld the following stewardship guidelines:

• The only costs being recovered from these donations are those related to tsunami fundraising and administrative activities. These costs amount to nine per cent of total donations received worldwide, and six per cent of Canadian tsunami donations.
• All interest earned on tsunami donations is being credited to tsunami-related programs.
