Thanks to our wonderful supporters, in 2024 we were able to take part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge. Our supporters raised funds to buy technical drafting tables for our girls’ school in Biga, Philippines, to aid them in their vocational studies.
These tables are an important part of the technical training our children receive. With skills learned in technical drafting, our children are properly equipped for good local jobs, increasing their employability. Alongside the educational benefits it greatly improves confidence in their skills and ability.

Just over half of this figure (£6,240) was raised in December 2024 during the online phase.
The remaining half (£5,375) was matched through the Big Give Match funding model. Half of this matched portion (£3,375) was pledged by our committed supporters and then our champion funder, The Reed Foundation, matched £2,000.
Thank you to everyone who took part and made this possible! Your donation’s impact was doubled when you chose to support through the Big Give Match Funding!
In 2025, we are taking part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge to purchase new science books for girls in Brasilia Girlstown. Stay informed about the Big Give Online phase by signing up to receive emails. You will receive email updates and be the first to know when our Big Give Christmas Online Challenge goes live in December.
We hope that you can support our children this year.
