The Taylor Foundation, set up by tna founders Nadia and Alf Taylor, has had a busy 12 months helping children and adults across the developing world.
The foundation has allowed over 42 children in Africa access to education through sponsorship, citing the examples of Irene Chama in Zambia, who has just reached Grade 10, and Joshua Muwanguzi from Uganda, who despite having a disability, has just given the opportunity to start school.
It has also helped free 290 children and adults from modern slavery over the past year, working in partnership with Blue Dragon to free survivors of human trafficking in Vietnam. The foundation has not only supported rescue and emergency care work, but also helped build homes for vulnerable families, keeping 1,100 children in school.
In Rwanda, the foundation has helped a further 20 coffee farmers start their own business, raising $30,000 for the Kula Project, which is a 15-month fellowship program for budding coffee farmers. 75 per cent of these farmers are women, and the training has allowed them to become more effective business owners and entrepreneurs.
