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 />
