Our focus is to support independent
projects or organisations which provide:

- Street Children with a place of safety and a healthy environment.
- Health & Medical support to remote communities.
- Agricultural education and training.
- Skills training for young adults, to enable them to achieve their aims.
- Access to higher education for able students in deprived locations.
