Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. All your contribution would go to sponsoring the Thomson Reuters Foundation's scholarship scheme and enabling remarkable scholarship recipients to attend Trust Conference and benefit from all it has to offer.

The Thomson Reuters Foundation is the philanthropic arm of
Thomson Reuters and an independently registered charity in the UK and the USA. It leverages the know-how, reach and reputation of Thomson Reuters to run free programmes that promote the highest standards in journalism and spread excellence in the practice of legal pro bono worldwide: free legal assistance to NGOs and social enterprises, coverage of the world’s under-reported news, media development, and the annual Trust Conference. It acts as a source of unbiased thought leadership in areas including slavery and human trafficking, women’s rights and climate and resilience.

Every year, the Thomson Reuters Foundation launches a global competition open to all full time employees of Thomson Reuters with the goal of finding one exceptional individual to act as its Ambassador both within and outside the company. The challenge offers a unique opportunity for members of the Thomson Reuters community to raise awareness of the Foundation, as well as fundraise for the scholarship program to its flagship annual event, the Trust Conference, formerly Trust Women, which is the world’s leading forum in the fight against slavery and trafficking. This scholarship program enables individuals who fight slavery and defend human rights across the world to attend the conference at no cost.

You can take a look at previous scholars here: http://www.trustconference.com/scholarships/

Last year, the 10 shortlisted ambassadors from around the world raised over $20,000, enabling remarkable scholarship recipients to attend the conference and benefit from all it has to offer. The winner of the challenge also attended the conference in London on an all expense paid trip.

I have been selected as one of 12 shortlisted ambassadors
from over 150 submissions from around the world in 2017. I have time until October 5, 2017 to plan and implement awareness and fundraising activities and hope I can count on your support! 

Note: Although the currency on this page says GBP, once you have selected any valid card detail for payment, in the back-end the amount
will be converted into local currency . For example, if you are paying in INR it will internally convert that into GBP.
