Our aim is to give children the best opportunity to develop 21st century Life Skills, through our Network of Teachers and Professionals. Providing Support to NGOs and Charities that help disadvantaged children.
Why us
Background
My family originated from Bangladesh, India and Great Britain, giving me an in-depth understanding of all three cultures. One of my first memories is playing with street kids, from the local slums, usually when I got home after school in the afternoon sun, which would upset my mum in case I suffered from heat stroke. Sorry mum x
I experienced some difficult times during my childhood, my mum was a single parent bringing up my brother and I in a third world country where women were expected to stay at home. Instead my mum worked hard to give us the best she could, including selling up all our belongings to buy flight tickets for a better life in the UK. Thank you mum x
I studied and worked in the United Kingdom and spent over 20 years visiting Goa, India, developing a personal and professional network that has allowed me to maintain businesses there.
I have launched, developed, managed and directed businesses, projects and teams across all sectors and levels of seniority. From Property Development and Management to Advertising and Corporate Events, I gained my commercial experience in London, Dubai and India.
The most important lesson I have learned, is that none of this could have been achieved without a good understanding and respect of local cultures and support of my local partners.
Poverty Has NO Borders OR Religion and Neither Do We!
Thank you.

What We Do
How We Work
Our Team of Trustees and Volunteers engage in various fundraising activities to raise money, to support our Network of Teachers and Professionals to help Educate Disadvantaged Children.
This support is delivered at existing NGOs and Charities, to ensure that every young disadvantaged child is given the greatest opportunity to develop a Life Skill and create a Better Life for themselves and future generations.
The final stage of our support is to offer students apprenticeships, to help them manage the transition from education to workplace. While encouraging the graduates to maintain an ongoing relationship with our network, with the possibility of work placements once the child reaches the legal age to work.
