SMALL ACTS OF KINDNESS

Our main focus in 2023 is the running of our Inspire, Sport and Leadership programmes for young people in Nepal, Sri Lanka and Rwanda. This builds on our work in previous years building a network of volunteers to support these programmes. We also support sports coaching and individual student grants.
