ONE TO ONE CHILDREN'S FUND 

The Charity's objectives are to carry out activities that relieve the suffering, hardship and neglect of children and young persons anywhere in the world. One to One Children's Fund is a small charity, and to make a virtue of necessity, we always start small. We change some precious lives immediately, but the bigger prize is that we create a model that we and others can follow.
