Latest trusts update
Save the Children is working with Humanity First in Gaza to rebuild five schools that have been severely damaged during the recent conflict. Humanity First has made a huge contribution towards the renovation and reconstruction of these schools. This work will allow children to return to a much-needed routine and a sense of normality.
El Khidir Daloum, Save the Children’s Regional Director for the Middle East spoke of the partnership with Humanity First: “Save the Children is delighted to be working with Humanity First in the region. Our two organisations share common values and a desire to help the beleaguered children of the area to get back into education and training, and we are very pleased with the level of commitment that HF have made to this important programme.”
What a difference trust support makes!
The support of our trusts and foundations is crucial to saving children’s lives. You can choose to support a specific project, country, or area of work or you can allow us to use the donation where the need is greatest.
Whatever you choose, you can be sure that your donation will save the lives of children around the world. In turn, we ensure that we keep your trust updated in the format you prefer. We’ll use your own reporting form, providie you with updates and reports, set up regular meetings and phone calls, send you invitations to events, and organise visits to the projects you’re supporting.
How your trust could help
We have a dedicated team who will help find a suitable Save the Children project or programme that could directly benefit from trust support. Whatever the size of your trust, your money will help us to save children’s lives:
-
£500 would buy five bicycles that could be used as ‘mobile libraries’ for children living in poor suburbs of Albania’s capital, Tirana
-
£2,000 would provide a community nurse in Ghana with a motorbike to help her to reach 10,000 children a year
-
£20,000 would pay for equipment such as wheelchairs, walking frames and crutches for over 400 disabled children as part of a community-based rehabilitation project in Sri Lanka
-
£100,000 would give 100 children working in the glass industry in India access to basic health services and help them to develop new skills and learn about their rights.
“Regular feedback on the progress of relief efforts and a demonstrable experience and understanding of the needs of the families affected meant that during a difficult emergency situation we were confident that Save the Children were well placed to deliver help directly to those people who needed it the most.” Grahame Elliott, President of The Freemasons’ Grand Charity
