Helping Children Thrive for 30 years
We support disadvantaged children and young people – whether affected by poverty, disability, or vulnerability – by partnering with locally-managed centres in Africa and India.
We focus on
Education
EducationWe promote access to education for all children, improving school infrastructure and supporting marginalised groups like street children, girls, and children with disabilities. We collaborate with local governments, communities, and other organisations to enhance educational opportunities across various levels, from primary to vocational and life skills training.
Health
HealthWe promote good health through initiatives like school meals, food distribution, and hygiene education. We improve access to water, sanitation, and menstrual health support. We are developing initiatives to address gender-based violence and promoting women’s rights. We also assist children with disabilities with their health needs, and sponsor nursing and medical students in our partner countries.
Environment
EnvironmentWe are committed to addressing the impact of climate change on vulnerable communities. We support projects promoting sustainability, such as school farms, food preservation, waste reduction, and improving access to water. We also partner with the Marshal Papworth Foundation to offer training in sustainable agriculture for students from the communities we support.
