The Impact of Delayed Charity Projects on Donors

Delay in charity project completion affects donors who feel cheated and disappointed when promises are not fulfilled. In the case of Ishrat Baig, who donated £40,000 to Penny Appeal for building an orphanage in 2017, the project faced numerous delays, causing frustration and distrust towards the charity. The charity blamed the delays on the Covid pandemic and other challenges in the region. This incident highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in charitable organizations to maintain donors’ trust and ensure projects are completed timely and effectively. Donors should be careful and thoroughly research charities before making significant donations to avoid similar disappointments in the future.
