Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The Educator's Trust is a small charity based in Goa that provides education to the children of migrant workers via 3 schools and an outreach project.  The families come to Goa from other parts of India, looking for work and opportunities that they think Goa will offer them.  Unfortunately, the children usually end up begging on the beaches, collecting recyclable litter or selling jewellery and peanuts to earn a few rupees.

The families live in shacks and slum settlements, without access to running water, sanitation or even a roof over their heads.  We work with families via the outreach programme in the slum areas to encourage education, good nutrition and hygiene.

We aim to break the cycle of illiteracy and child labour, which keeps these children and their families in poverty.

None of the donations to the Educators Trust support volunteer work.  All volunteers are totally self-funded, in terms of travel to India, accommodation, transport and meals, which means that any money you donate goes directly to the charity to help the children.

If you believe that education can improve lives, then please support The Educator's Trust by making a donation.  Even a very modest donation to this small charity goes a long way.

Donating through JustGiving is simple and totally secure.  Your details are safe – the will never be sold on and you will not receive unwanted emails.  Once you donate, JustGiving sends your money directly to the charity and ensures that Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
