As well as paying for buildings and teachers, we provide equipment and expertise, successfully raising the standard of education on offer through privately funded visits by UK professionals. Roseberry School Darjeeling opened in 2007. It has been built and developed by a highly competent and devoted local team with whom the charity has excellent links.

Ruth First Educational Trust
(UK, 1019975) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00The RFET supports the Ruth First Scholarship at Durham University for students from southern Africa. We award one scholarship per year for a taught Masters degree. A South African undergraduate scholarship was set up by staff and students at Durham University in 1964, the year in which Nelson Mandela was imprisoned and the anti-apartheid campaigner, journalist and researcher Ruth First was forced to go into exile in England. The scholarship was named in honour of Ruth First after she was murdered by South African police in 1982. She was a Lecturer in Sociology at Durham University and had been seconded to Eduardo Mondlane University in Mozambique. Since the end of apartheid, the Scholarship has been awarded for postgraduate study, and in 2007 we widened its scope to include applicants from Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe. We choose people who show evidence of both academic promise and community leadership. People who have been active in voluntary and charity work, community initiatives, health and educational projects. Ruth First Scholars make the most of the amazing opportunity of enhancing their skills and knowledge at a leading UK university to benefit not only themselves but their communities and countries. The Ruth First Scholarship is supported by Durham University, Durham County Council and other sponsors, as well as by individual donations from staff and alumni of the University and people from the Durham area. However, we urgently need to increase the Trust's income in order to ensure that this small but powerful contribution to development in southern Africa can continue. Please make a one-off or regular donation, or support one of our fundraising events through this website.

Educating The Children
(UK, 1139741) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00ETC stands for Educating The Children, which is exactly what we are doing in the Masai Mara, in Kenya and also in the UK (through our global learning programme). There are essentially two strands to ETC: (1) UK VOLUNTEER TEACHERS: go to teach in the Mara where classroom sizes are roughly 1 teacher to 100 pupils! They also exchange best practises with Kenyan teachers, and educate UK pupils on their return through real life examples of global learning. We provide them with the training to do that. (2) FARIJIKA SECONDARY SCHOOL: we have recently started building the first girls secondary school in the Masai Mara which will also act as a safe haven from female genital mutilation and forced childhood marriages. International research shows that investing in girls delivers a higher return than any other investment made in a community's development.

Teach First
(UK, 1098294) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00When we think about people living in poverty, the images that come to mindaren’t often of the communities that surround us. Yet in Britain today, 3.6 million children are growing up in households so poor, providing basics like heating andfood is a daily struggle. A child growing up in poverty can all too often become trapped in a downwardspiral of low educational achievement, inferior job opportunities and greatlyincreased chances of drug use, poor health and involvement with crime. In someareas they will even die sooner than their wealthier neighbour. We are Teach First and we think this is wrong. We are working towards a future where every child can succeed, regardless of their background. And we have seen how excellent classroom teachers can transform a child’s life opportunities. We recruit dynamic, passionate graduates and career-changers to teach in schools in low-income communities. We only work with schools where more than 50% of pupils come from the poorest homes. Only 4% of newly qualified teachers would consider working in these schools, but all of our teachers commit to working there for a minimum of two years. In ten years, more than 4,000 Teach First teachers have worked in over 500 schools. We are building a movement of leaders who will change the education system, eradicating educational disadvantage and making a meaningful impact on children, their families and communities.
