We donate to World Vision Australia when you make a book purchase
Talomin Books values the work of World Vision and has been donating a percentage of the book price of every book sold via this website since 1 October 2004.* These funds have been directed towards projects that attract AusAid funding (a scheme in which the Australian Federal Government finances up to 75% of the project’s direct costs). Directing our funds in this way assists World Vision to meet the balance of project costs which they are required to raise themselves in order to complete their valuable work.
The projects Talomin Books will support are in the areas of Health, Enterprise Development and Education. Please click on the following links for information about the projects we have supported.
