Mission Statement : Enabling communities by educating children and empowering women. Our Aim : Blossom Trust is a UK registered charity (no. 1145318) created in 2012. The trust started with an aim to help disadvantaged children, and has since expanded their projects into Education, Mental Health, Empowering Women, Children Care, Agricultural Support and Covid Support to achieve this objective. The Trust’s main objective is to support underprivileged undergraduate students to continue and complete their education, as many students abandon their education due to their lack of funds for their upkeep. We at Blossom Trust strongly believe that female empowerment is the seed from which one can develop a nurturing, thriving community for the future generation. Most of the disadvantaged families are headed by widowed women who are currently living in extreme poverty and malnutrition. The Trust reviews each beneficiary’s requirement with their physical and mental abilities and provides carefully monitored, tailor made, support to improve their quality of life by allowing them to gain regular income and reduce their dependency on others. By strengthening and sustaining their own household income, they will have an increased opportunity to lead a more independent family life. How we differ from others : The running cost of our charity is borne by the trustees and, which helps us to ensure all the funds collected are used towards our projects.
