**NGOs make two kinds of calls that never get enough staff time: thanking and retaining donors, and
following up with the people they serve.** An AI voice agent can do both in the right language: thank-you
and receipt calls to donors, recurring-donation reminders, event invitations, and on the programme side,
camp and scheme reminders and beneficiary feedback surveys whose answers go straight into your reports.

## Care with vulnerable people

- **Short and respectful**, in the beneficiary's language.
- **Confirm identity** before discussing programme details, since phones are often shared.
- **Collect only what you need**; avoid sensitive data on the call.
- **Offer a person** for any problem, complaint or distress.
- **Say it is automated** and who is calling.
