United KingdomHealth/Medical
We want the very best care for everyone facing the end of life. We are here to support our members and other organisations as they strive to grow and improve end of life care throughout the UK and across the world. A hospice is not just a building, it is a way of caring for people. Hospice care aims to improve the lives of people whose illness may not be curable. It helps people to live as actively as possible after diagnosis to the end of their lives, however long that may be. The highest value is put on respect and choice. Hospices not only take care of people's physical needs, they consider their emotional, spiritual and social needs too. And they support families and close friends, both during the illness and in bereavement.
Help To Educate
United KingdomChildren/Education
We want to reach the neediest children and give them a brighter future away from poverty. As a result, our Nepali staff visit stone quarries, brick kilns and coal mines to interview children working in dangerous and unhealthy environments. We believe that education is part of the solution to ending poverty in their lives and so we send the children to a good school where they can receive a reasonable level of education. Our support makes a real and tangible difference. Children who have received our support in the past have gone on to lead independent and self-sufficient lives. We are proud to see them grow up and continue their education up to University level through their own means and to see them go on and get good jobs so that they can also help their families.

Less than 50% in class 5 can read and write alphabets in their other tongue. We "HELP" aim to educate them via evening schools & Child Development Centers. All our activities are exclusively targeted towards children and their parents. We select children without any discrimination based on gender, caste, religion, political affiliation or language.

Help2read
South AfricaChildren/Education
Many South African children have parents who can't read or write in their own language, let alone English. Yet, without parents taking an interest in their child’s reading development, sharing a love of stories and individual attention, children fall behind their peers, losing confidence and self-esteem. Help2read makes reading fun by taking reading out of the classroom, combining it with games, and giving children choice! Our trained volunteer reading helpers assist school children aged 5-12 who find reading difficult. Sessions are entirely child-led, so children can only enjoy themselves. Very quickly, children look forward to reading instead of dreading it. Reading helpers and children sit in the library or a quiet place outside the classroom, and read or play together one-on-one on a weekly basis. help2read provide schools and reading helpers with a box full of interesting and beautiful books. Children quickly find a book they love and learn to love reading!
