We make a real difference by bringing education to children living in remote and marginalized communities in South Asia, giving them the chance to escape from a life of desperate poverty. We also provide much needed health care, empower women, and offer skills training for young people.

Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p class="accordionpara">Learning for Life's mission is to overcome poverty by providing South Asia's poor and oppressed with education and opportunity and to raise awareness of development issues and challenge stereotypes in the UK.</p> <p class="accordionpara">Since their creation in 1994, LfL has worked hard to provide education that is realistic and relevant to people's lives.</p> <p>Learning for Life UK enables South Asia's poorest populations to gain access to education, health and employment. These basic human rights form the first, essential step in overcoming poverty.</p> <p>They work with local partners to provide education for children, training for teachers, certified vocational training for safe employment and catch up education for adolescents, and reproductive health and HIV/AIDS awareness for communities in South Asia. They provide their local partners, who understand local issues, with the skills and support to help communities set up and manage practical and sustainable projects that meet their real needs.</p> <p><span style="color: #ff9221; font-size: 1.1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;">&pound;20</span></span> will provide text books for a student for a year! <br><span style="color: #ff9221; font-size: 1.1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;">&pound;35</span></span> will cover a teacher's monthly salary!<br><span style="color: #ff9221; font-size: 1.1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;">&pound;100</span></span> will buy a year's teaching materials in a pre-primary school!<br><span style="color: #ff9221; font-size: 1.1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;">&pound;300</span></span> will pay a teacher's salary for a year!<br><span style="color: #ff9221; font-size: 1.1em;"><span style="font-size: medium;">&pound;5,000</span></span> will educate 100 pre-primary school children for a year!</p> <p>Have a look at their website <a href="http://www.learningforlifeuk.org/">www.learningforlifeuk.org/</a></p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
