all ‘regular gifts’ (weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual donations) to increase the number of free places we provide to the local children who are most disadvantaged. These are either orphans, or whose family income is less than £22 ($29.75) per month.
This year, we are providing 50 learners with a free place (and 9 with a heavily discounted place). Ideally, we’d like to increase this to 70 free places for the children in our community who live with the greatest poverty and most vulnerability.
At the moment, 29 regular supporters fund 40 of our 50 free places, and teachers in a UK and an Austrian school have raised the funds for the other 10. This means that each time we recruit another regular giver we can offer another child in the community a free place.
