Cover the cost of clearing boxes

when they are received at customs. When boxes are received from donors, RUS is required to pay 25% of the value of the items inside the box. These customs clearance fees can be very expensive because when donors write the total value of the things that are inside the box, we sometimes end up paying hundreds of dollars in customs fees. Unfortunately, donors often do not reimburse these fees, so we have to bear the total cost. Hence, we appeal to donors who send us boxes to help us by either writing a very minimal value for the items inside the box so that we do not pay much or by reimbursing us for the amount spent in customs fees. 

At RUS, we believe in creating lasting change. Join us in making a difference and transforming lives. Together, we build a future of hope and resilience.
