Raise Funds as You Shop

Support our work while shopping online – at no extra cost to you.

As a small charity with international reach, we need all the help we can get. Shopping through these platforms helps us continue supporting families and former hostages.

If you know of similar initiatives in your region, please let us know.

Online Shopping

In the UK, you can raise free donations for Hostage International while shopping online. Through easyfundraising or GiveAsYouLive, over 7,000 brands donate a portion of what you spend to our charity.

These platforms generate donations every time you shop online. When you buy from retailers like Amazon, eBay, John Lewis, Argos, Marks & Spencer, and thousands of others, the retailer makes a donation based on a percentage of your purchase.

It doesn’t cost you anything extra. The retailer covers the cost as a thank you for shopping with them. You support our work with families affected by hostage situations without incurring any additional fees.

 

Books by Former Hostages

Many former hostages and families have written books about their experiences. These provide valuable support for some readers and interesting perspectives for others. Buying these books supports the authors’ recovery journey.

Dave Muller, author of “Not Child’s Play” and former hostage, donates proceeds from his book to Hostage International. Could you purchase it to support our work? Read his blog with links to buy his book.

How Your Shopping Helps

  1. Offer emotional support to families during hostage situations
  2. Provide practical assistance with financial, legal, and media challenges
  3. Connect former hostages with specialised mental health services
