Child education
The students supported by our programs face major barriers to accessing education; many are orphaned, living in extreme poverty or dealing with other difficult family circumstances.
Step
Build the healthy environments
Working together, we invest in the lives of children and youth, build the healthy environments they need to thrive, and empower them to create lasting change in their own lives and communities.
We pay school fees and provide uniforms and other essentials to help orphans fulfill their academic potential and escape from a life in poverty. More than 80% of our former beneficiaries manage the transition to higher education.

Pick a cause, then pick your partner
This seems obvious, but in reality it is not always the case. Companies are often drawn to the NGOs that are the biggest or the most “pushy”, rather than those reflecting the values and goals of the company. Think about what the mission of the company is, what your customers care about and where you can have the most impact – whether it is by boosting opportunities for UK youth or by helping rural communities across the world travel the bumpy road to development.
Do your homework
A key step to take before getting into any partnership is to gather all the information available about your future partner. Does their strategy seem well defined and is there any evidence their work is hitting the target? Have a look at their financial reports, whether there is any news coverage, and see how the money is being spent and what their priorities are. But also remember to check the trustee board: how many of them are there? Are they in touch with what’s going on?
Clearer goals, better outcomes
Once you’ve found the ideal partner, think carefully about what you are trying to achieve together. A close partnerships with a clear plan translates into tangible and measurable results. However, crucial to this process is communication and openness: the more employees, investors, customers, and the broader community understand about the partnership, the more they will be able to help in achieving the goals set, by playing an active role or by becoming good ambassadors.
