The aims of Schools 4 Schools are similar to a number of other children’s charities – it’s their approach and execution of their plans that is different.

Their aims are to:

• Advance the education of poverty-stricken children (initially in South Africa and India and eventually worldwide) through the provision of schools, educational material, human resources and financial support.
• Raise awareness amongst children in the United Kingdom as to the educational opportunities open to them in order to increase their appreciation and encourage them to make full use of these opportunities.

Their approach is to:

• Work only with local people who know for themselves what the children need
• Supply funding directly to the people at grass roots level, by-passing local governments, to ensure that the money is always available and that overheads are kept to a minimum
• Liaise closely with local authorities to ensure projects are appropriate and acceptable
• Raise money for specific projects and manage them from start to finish
• Encourage children around the world to help each other
