02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

With the help of a Tanzanian partner NGO we have built schools and supported sponsored children through nursery, primary, secondary and further education in a rural area. We do this by creating a sponsorship programme with sponsors donating regularly to support the children from deprived backgrounds to reach their potential. This year we were helped in the construction of a nursery school by donations from two Rotary groups. North Fife rotary and Cupar Rotary.
