Education for the Children Foundation was established in 2003.
"Our vision is to offer children born into poverty the opportunity to build a brighter future through full access to education."
Education for the Children Foundation was established in 2003. Education For The Children Foundation educates extremely poor children in Central America and is also currently expanding its social programme. We are a registered charity in the UK, the registration number is 1099280. On 5th October 2005, we also established a legal charitable foundation in Guatemala called Fundacion Educando A Los Ninos.
The stated aims of the charity are:
- 'to advance the education of children in Central America by the provision of schools, school equipment and teaching personnel.'
- 'to relieve the poverty and sickness of children who are educated by the foundation, together with their families, by the provision of shelter, amenities, facilities and equipment, in any such charitable way as the charity trustees determine.'
The first project of the foundation was to support a small school in the town of Antigua, Guatemala.

We are Macmillan. Cancer Support
What we do
Macmillan Cancer Support improves the lives of people affected by cancer. One in three of us will get cancer. We are all affected by cancer. We can all help. We are Macmillan.
As treatments improve, more and more people are living with cancer in their daily lives. This means they need more than medical help, they also need practical, emotional and financial support.
We are a source of support
We are a source of support, helping with all the things that people affected by cancer want and need. It's not only patients who live with cancer, so we also help carers, families and communities. We guide people through the system, supporting them every step of the way. We fund nurses and other specialist health care professionals and build cancer care centres. But we give so much more than medical help.
People need practical support at home, so we provide anything from some precious time off for a carer, to a lift to hospital. People need emotional support, so we listen, advise and share information though our CancerLine, website, support groups and trained professionals. People need financial help to cope with the extra costs cancer can bring, so we give benefits advice, and grants for anything from heating bills to travel costs. Together we listen, we learn, we act to help people live with cancer.
