​WHY SUPPORT US?

Our small size means that our Grants Manager and other UK staff have direct, hands-on experience of our projects. They work closely alongside local partners and beneficiaries and have an in-depth knowledge of all our programmes. As a result, we are best placed to fulfil the needs of Trusts and Foundations and communicate about our projects effectively, intelligently and with personal insight.

​Trusts and foundations of all sizes can support Children on the Edge and together we can transform the lives of marginalised children by creating protective environments where they can safely live, play, learn and grow.

WHAT CAN YOU SUPPORT?

Trusts and Foundations can work in partnership with us through one-off grants, or longer term over a number of years to support a specific programme or general area of work (i.e providing flexible, innovative education to persecuted Dalit children in India or early years education for Congolese refugees).

Children on the Edge projects are well researched, innovative and unique, reaching children who are often overlooked by their communities, their governments, the media and the international community. Reaching these children requires extensive research; ongoing conversations with communities, networks and diaspora; and travel to a number of hard to reach, remote locations. We have received innovation awards and international recognition for our programmes. 

Flexible, unrestricted grants from Trusts and Foundations are crucial to support the research and development phases; to allow us to foster innovation in our projects and respond with greater flexibility to new or emerging needs.

MEET SOME OF OUR CURRENT FUNDERS...
​

The Angus Lawson Memorial Trust

The Angus Lawson Memorial Trust (ALMT) has generously supported our education programme for Dalit ‘untouchable’ children in India since 2017.

Dalit children are often illegally excluded from Indian state schools, trapping them in poverty. ALMT’s support has helped hundreds of excluded Dalit children to gain a quality primary education in informal, learning centres.

ALMT also made generous additional donations to provide emergency food to vulnerable Dalit families during lockdowns, and they are now helping us trial an exciting new initiative to enable older children to gain secondary level qualifications.
​

This work aligns with the ALMT’s mission of ‘striving to mitigate the suffering of the world's most marginalised children’.

​​The British and Foreign School Society

The British and Foreign School Society (BFSS) furthers educational opportunity by funding and supporting knowledge sharing for educational projects in the UK and around the world.
 
BFSS has generously supported our work since 2015, funding primary education for Syrian refugee children in Lebanon, and then Early Years Education for Congolese refugees in the Kyaka II refugee settlement in Uganda. 

We are delighted that during 2022 and 2023, BFSS is supporting our brand new programme in Bangladesh, where ten new model schools on Bhasan Char Island are offering primary education to 500 Rohingya refugee children who have been relocated from the larger, crowded refugee camps on the mainland.

​These schools will provide safe, colourful learning environments, and well trained teachers who will enable students to enjoy a varied curriculum, with multiple avenues for self-expression including art, singing, dance and drama
