4.2 Fund Allocation & Reallocation — Donations made toward specific campaign tracks (e.g. vocational sponsorship, clean water, orphan care, emergency food relief) are allocated accordingly. If a designated project becomes fully funded, or field conditions prevent implementation, we reserve the right to reallocate surplus funds to the most urgent humanitarian need.
