INTO Giving:<br />

Making a difference<br />

Access to education can transform lives by lifting young people out <strong>of</strong> poverty and<br />

into a sustainable future. INTO staff and supporters, including students, organise<br />

and participate in a range <strong>of</strong> fundraising events, providing opportunities to make<br />

new friends and develop new skills while helping to raise funds to support<br />

life-changing educational projects.<br />

Our support is particularly focused on the countries our students come from and provides opportunities<br />

to make a real difference to the future <strong>of</strong> the young people in today’s global community. As part <strong>of</strong> our<br />

commitment to making a difference to those who need it most, all monies raised by INTO staff, students<br />

and the wider community are then matched by INTO. It is part <strong>of</strong> our commitment to building a better world.<br />

The partnership projects:<br />

HELPING in the Gambia<br />

Poverty and deprivation in the Gambia mean that<br />

most children will not progress to higher education.<br />

In partnership with HELPING we have contributed<br />

towards the cost <strong>of</strong> training 11 young teachers from<br />

the local community. These young teachers are<br />

now doing a pr<strong>of</strong>essional job and their training has<br />

contributed to the improved standard <strong>of</strong> children<br />

moving into primary education. Headmasters at local<br />

primary schools have told the HELPING charity that<br />

the children coming from the HELPING nurseries are<br />

more advanced than most and are going straight into<br />

school at grade 2.<br />

The China Hope Project<br />

Following the Sichuan earthquake <strong>of</strong> 2008 many<br />

schools in remote parts <strong>of</strong> the province were either<br />

destroyed or left unfit for purpose. In partnership<br />

with the Hope project we have provided 80% <strong>of</strong><br />

the costs <strong>of</strong> rebuilding the Lianghou Primary School<br />

and we will continue to support the school through<br />

further fundraising.<br />

In-Community Care for Orphans (I-CCO)<br />

in Zambia<br />

In 2009, 690,000 children in Zambia were orphaned<br />

as a result <strong>of</strong> the HIV/AIDS epidemic and almost<br />

double that number are missing school to care for<br />

their extended family or because they do not have<br />

the minimum fees required to attend school.<br />

We are working with I-CCO to build a much needed<br />

school and community centre for orphans and<br />

vulnerable children from Chawamma, a township<br />

outside the capital, Lusaka. With funds from INTO<br />

Giving construction is already underway and will<br />

be completed in 2011. Most <strong>of</strong> the construction<br />

work will be carried out by locals, who will receive<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essional training in building, enabling them to<br />

seek employment once the school is finished.<br />

In 2011/12 we will be working with staff, students<br />

and the wider community to fund and support more<br />

great educational causes. Get involved!<br />
