Project

Our beautiful Louise has set off for Uganda today to visit our partners in Tororo.

Lou lou is going to install some solar panels while she’s there for the headquarters buildings in which we’ll eventually be hosting volunteers and visitors to the project.

She’s also gone to visit SAFE beneficiaries and to start implementing our trade projects with our partners, TOCIDA.

Good luck, Lou lou, see you when you get back!

Hiya peepsicles!

We are looking for some more people to help with some ongoing research that we’re conducting about certain issues in Cardiff and South Wales.

If you’re interested in taking part in some surveys or interviews, give us a call at SAFE HQ – 01446 400343.

In particular we’re looking for 18-30 year olds who live in urban areas and for people who have moved to the U.K. from other countries.

We’d also like to talk to people of ethnic minority (any age) wherever they’re from. Thanks!

Here is the most recent picture of some of our Ugandan beneficiaries. The children have differening levels of learning difficulties and have previously been excluded from, or hindered in their education. We have been helping them get back into school and helping to integrate and increase their learning outcomes. We’ve also been able to test for further problems, like HIV, deafness, etc

The project needs some more support this year, so if you would like to donate, please get in touch or visit our justgiving page www.justgiving.com/thesafefoundation

Thanks!

Our beautiful friend Lia has gone to Cambodia today to work for our project in Siem Reap.  She’s lush and she’s writing a blog while she’s there. Check it!

These are pictures from our newest project in the south of India in partnership with a local group called the WCDT. The project is open to people who want to experience living and working in small, disadvantaged communities and who want to make a real difference to people’s lives.

You Safers are all stars!

Lush news from our Masinagudi, India project about the progress of our current project out there – it’s all going great!

We were able to facilitate the building of a new computer room for a tribal school who want a better standard of education so that children can integrate with their wider society and enjoy better job prospects in the future. The building is now complete and is being used every day, where the children are learning literacy skills, writing, drawing,  and other basic IT skills.

We were also able to provide safe drinking water for everybody in the tribal schools that we work in, which exceed our expectations at the start of the partnership with MYWA. Initially we were going to install water purification tanks, but after some consideration it was decided to build new pipe systems from a larger source so that it would be more reliable and be able to affect more people positively. Our partners told us that the problems with safe water for so bad before, so having guaranteed water for all the children and staff at the schools is amazing.

Among other things, SAFE have also been able to employ new teachers at tribal schools, buy new shoes and uniforms for all pupils in the schools with which they partner with and provide other vital resources.

Thanks to all of you who have supported The SAFE Foundation this year, children in areas that are severely disadvantaged and out of the reach of mainstream charities have been able to improve their lives and standard of education this year. Give yourselves a MASSIVE pat on the back!

I am officially the bearer of good news! YEAH!

Last time when I asked you all who wanted to go to Ghana to help our Ghanaian partners and volunteers build a school one million trillion of you replied. The problem was we only had 6 places to fill, so we had to say sozra to a lorra peeps.

BUT, we’re asking the same question again so another 6 or 7 of you can have a crack at helping out and get all constructiony on us.

We want to send another group out on the 1st November for 2 weeks to help out on this fab project. It costs £150 a week to go and that fee will get you fed, watered, accommodated, kitted up with tools and pay for your internal to’ing and fro’ing.

The other best news in the world is that our Cambodia volunteering programme is OFFICIALLY OPEN and sorted and recruiting volunteers to go and get some Asia vibes.

SAFE are recruiting teaching assistants to help our Khmer teachers boost the learning outcomes of some disadvantaged children in Siem Reap province. This project costs £160 a week, is a three week placement (but you can stay longer if you want to do more), and gets you fed, accommodated and kitted for the job.

These are NON PROFIT programmes, as are all our volunteering opportunities. This means that ALL proceeds generated by your fees will fund charitable projects for disadvantaged kids in the country of your placement.

If you’re interested get in touch asap as places are already filling up.
