Why choose Sauti Moja?
Lower overhead (restricted to ensure that <10% is used for administration and fundraising in Canada)
 Only the part-time administrative staff receives salary; the Director volunteers his time for all management and fund-raising duties, as well as travel costs to-and-from Africa. The Africa Program Manager lives in Tanzania, and receives basic living costs.- Project staff is contracted on an “as needed” basis; therefore, there are no program employees that are paid salary and benefits.
- Most international staff are development professionals, who volunteer in addressing those needs in their communities, which other agencies are not addressing.
- Fund-raising is primarily through Internet and “word of mouth” rather than costly mass appeals.

Experience and professionalism
- The Board of Directors functions as a professional “working group”, all of whom have international development experience, and they are complemented with non-voting advisers.
- Those engaged in program design have a minimum of a Masters level training, several years of experience in community development, and have lived in the communities where we provide assistance.
- Sauti Moja refuses donations that deviate from its principles and goals – the “good can be the enemy of the best”, and since Sauti Moja is committed to quality, only engages in activities within its technical capacity.
Commitment to integrity and accountability
 Sauti Moja is committed to meeting the standards of the Canadian Council of Christian Charities.- Donors receive annual reports that detail progress on each project and financial status. Program and financial reporting is not camouflaged by other projects and in-kind donations. Further, visiting donors are encouraged to directly engage with the communities to 'see and hear' for themselves.
- Board of Directors is a professional ‘working group’ that is committed to a rights-based approach and programmatic results. Projects are directly managed and monitored by Sauti Moja.

- Donors are provided opportunities to engage with Sauti Moja and beneficiary communities, leading to Increased commitment to realization of human rights, and to advocacy on behalf of the oppressed.
