This World Water Day, we're looking back at our Covid-19 water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) appeal.

Global Citizenship

A global citizen is someone who cares about others and the world they live in. They take action to support causes they believe in, and work to protect their planet. Find out about our Global Citizenship Award for schools.
Why education?

Education is a fundamental human right. Yet 61 million children around the world do not have access to even basic primary schooling.

Donate

The impact even small donations can have is significant – we pride ourselves on delivering value for money and ensuring the biggest possible impact from every donation.
Making a difference

Education transforms lives. When children in remote and marginalised communities gain access to primary education, they are gaining access to a better future.
Send a child to school, make their dreams a reality.

Help children like Neelima realise their dreams this Christmas.
