The Standard Chartered Foundation focuses on tackling inequality. It promotes greater economic inclusion for disadvantaged young people from low-income households, particularly girls, women and people with visual impairments, providing opportunities to make a better future for themselves and their families. We fund programmes in the areas of education, employability, entrepreneurship and eye health, through initiatives including Futuremakers by Standard Chartered and the Standard Chartered COVID-19 Charitable Fund.

The impact of COVID-19 pandemic has hit the world hard, especially disadvantaged young people from low-income families. Many of them are struggling to get a decent job to support their families or access education under social distancing rules.

The funds raised will support initiatives to provide opportunities to these young people rebuild their lives through education, employability and entrepreneurship programmes and respond to the challenges caused by COVID-19.

Together let’s protect learning and livelihoods and make it a better tomorrow.
