The Thunder Foundation
(UK, 1159407) Browse events
YTD Raised: £1,532.74
(UK, 1159407) The Thunder Foundation has opened a school in Nairobi for 150 of the poorest children, 35 of them are special needs children. Offering them Free Education, Food and Health Care. We also run a Football Academy for 160 homeless street children. Our founder, Raad Swais, a P.E.Teacher from East Sussex, moved to Nairobi in 2012 to teach at a private school. He was so appalled by the conditions in the slums he decided that he must try and help. Our first school opened January 2014 with 22 hand picked children, (from the poorest families.) The advantage of our charity is that Raad runs all our projects first hand. He still works full time at the private school but all his spare time is for The Thunder Foundation. Team Thunder fund raise in the UK and every penny we raise is spent on our projects in Nairobi.

Manisha UK

YTD Raised: £1,493.00Manisha UK is a UK based, not-for-profit charity run entirely by volunteers and focussed on establishing sustainable schools in rural communities of Nepal. We support rural community schools in Palpa and Gurkha districts of Nepal with project activity currently under-way to completely rebuild one school and significantly extend or repair three others. Our support to the teachers, parents, children and schools in the poorest rural communities of Nepal includes: Manisha UK focusses the majority of its resources on improving the quality of education through its Teacher Training Programme. Additionally, our healthcare volunteers promote care of the sick child and Manisha UK now provides and replenishes first aid kits in each school, but our resources are limited. In Nepal, a little goes a long way and without exception it is far more cost effective to send money to buy items in Nepal rather than sending donated items from the UK. For example: If you would like help Manisha UK continue its Teacher Training Programme across all supported schools, you can make a one off or regular donation, or even start your own fund raising event, by clicking on the appropriate button at the top right of this page. If you are a teacher, parent or pupil of one of our UK twinned schools and would like to make a one off donation specifically for the benefit of your school's Nepalese twin school, please click on your school name in list to the left of this page. Thank you for your kind support!

YTD Raised: £1,444.72As India advances economically, the education system must also progress. However, Mumbai faces particularly profound challenges in the light of rapid urban growth, rising population levels and persistently high levels of deprivation. Furthermore, the difference in quality between public and fee-paying schools continues to diverge, despite attempts by governments to improve the quality of schooling for the poorest children. Whilst positive steps have been taken, core elements such as curriculum, teaching styles and quality of resources remain in need of improvement. That is where Muktangan steps in! Education for the community, by the community in Mumbai, India!
