Trusts & Foundations & Philanthropy

Your support, through a personal donation or a donation from a Trust or Foundation, will provide education and protection for some of the world's most marginalised children.

By partnering with Children on the Edge, you will also be investing in our network of locally-led partner organisations and award-winning programmes. At every step we work hand-in-hand with local communities to restore hope, dignity, and justice; and actively involve everyone in creating transformation. 

We are deeply grateful to receive support from Trusts, Foundations and philanthropists in the UK, US and Australia including: 

The Charles Jacob Charitable Trust, Postcode Lottery, Choose Love, Educational Opportunity Foundation, Ping and Amy Chao Foundation & Transparent Fish Fund, The Roddick Foundation, Vitol Foundation and others who prefer to remain anonymous.

It has been a joy for us to read about what has been achieved during the two years of the award, in particular given some of the seismic changes that have occurred in that time as regards international aid, the World Food Programme and so on. It has been wonderful for us as a funder to see how you have flexed and adapted both to these challenges and also to some of the more localised issues such as the initial over-reliance on rote-learning. We have greatly appreciated your honesty with us as this project has progressed; indeed, that was one of many reasons why we wanted to continue working with you as you expand the Cluster Model into Karamoja.

Current Partners

POSTCODE LOTTERY

Thanks to the wonderful generosity of Postcode Lottery players, we've been awarded £1.5m over six years to support our work to give young people the best start in life.

Laura Chow, head of charities at Postcode Lottery, said: "Thanks to the incredible support of players of Postcode Lottery, Children on the Edge is able to reach some of the most marginalised children in the world with safety, education and hope. Player funding is helping to transform lives—supporting innovative, community-led work that restores childhoods and creates brighter futures in the most challenging of circumstances."

EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY FOUNDATION

The Educational Opportunity Foundation has been a long-standing partner of Children on the Edge since 2013. Ashley Kuchanny, Grants Manager at EOF says:

"Children on the Edge has the ability to roll their sleeves up and get straight into some of the muckiest, trickiest circumstances that children are living in worldwide. Whether they are working in conflict settings, areas hit by natural disasters or with young people suffering persecution, the impact that they achieve in such situations is remarkable. This is why EOF considers Children on the Edge to be one of our most trusted partners".

TRANSPARENT FISH FUND

The Transparent Fish Fund has supported Children on the Edge and our early years education programme in Myanmar since 2016. Mimi Chen, Program Manager at Transparent Fish Fund, says:

"It takes a village to raise a child, and while that village is often overlooked, we can genuinely feel the sense of purpose and fulfillment experienced by the parents and teachers who have been part of this program. As psychologist Alfred Adler once said, “A lucky person’s lifetime is cured by childhood.” Thank you for making this kind of childhood possible for these children."
