Our history of connecting support

Building on more than four years of support activities, we continue to connect people and activities that need help with people who want to contribute. This website explains the background of activities and verified developments.

Purpose

We share accessible information about people, children, animals and communities around the world that need support, connecting people who want to help with activities that need their support.

For projects in which Support Circle is involved, we aim to explain progress and the use of funds as transparently as possible.

Activities

Introducing and sharing world support stories; sharing information about child support, medical support, animal welfare, disaster response and community support; planning and operating projects we carry out or cooperate with; using crowdfunding and other approaches to support activities; and reporting on support, activities and the use of funds.

The status of each activity and the scope of cooperation are explained on individual project and report pages. Listing these objectives does not mean that every activity has already been completed.

Accounting and fund management

For funds received by Support Circle, we clarify the purpose for each project and publish expenses and activity information where possible. Funds are used for necessary costs consistent with the purpose described for that project.

Payment services, fees, currency conversion and transfers are explained separately for each project. Payment collection, payout, onward transfer and actual spending are distinct stages. We report information that can be confirmed and disclosed.

This site does not collect a pooled donation for multiple projects. For Gia Han, review the individual project information and proceed to the Stripe payment page.

Three distinct content types

World support stories introduce third-party activities using official information. They do not demonstrate Support Circle’s own operations, transfers or partnerships.

Support projects are activities Support Circle carries out, operates or cooperates with. The scope of involvement is explained individually.

Activity reports distinguish actions actually taken, information verified and operating policies.

Our editorial approach

We show sources and verification dates and respect the dignity of people, families and activity participants. We do not publish unconfirmed results or amounts and update information when new facts are verified.
