Get involved
Come in and help.
Money is not the only thing good work needs. Here are five ways to help now.
Volunteer
Translate, photograph, design, test children's reading, keep the books, check a water point near you.
Teach a skill
If you earn your living from one of our six skills, or one we have not thought of, teach a cohort. Teachers are paid.
Suggest a place
A school where children cannot read. A village where the pump has been broken for a year. Tell us where.
Partner
Schools, panchayats, local groups, companies with CSR budgets and other foundations who want to work together.
Fund a project
Tell us what you would back and roughly how much. A trustee replies with the project, its budget and how to give.
Tell one person
Send this site to someone who gives, teaches or builds. Good work grows by word of mouth.
