International Scholarships for Change

Help young adults fulfil their passion to change the world by providing them with an educational scholarship to learn and lead

Our work as a charity is based on the United Nation SDGs and we know that young passionate individuals are our key to achieving them by 2030. This project is focused on opening doors and giving aspiring global ambassadors the opportunity to learn, develop and share their passion with others Internationally. Youths from all around the world are encouraged to connect with us so we can select the most aspiring young people and provide them with access to International experiences.

A number of potential youth have the passion and drive to become ambassadors for tackling global issues in the future, however, these individuals often face financial restraints to personally develop themselves and become the voice for change. No person should miss out on education and opportunities to effect change in their communities, which is why donations to this fund will allow any passionate and aspiring young person, from any community, to become an ambassador for change.

Our scholarship program works towards tackling SDG 4- Quality Education by selecting the most aspiring individuals aged 15-26 and providing them with a scholarship for international experiences that will help promote their opinion, views and themselves at international conferences or through international experiences. This project sponsors proposals that will directly impact two or more global issues that have been identified by the United Nations through the Sustainable Development Goals.

Everyone that is awarded the scholarship will enter into a re-entry program to ensure their experiences and learning are shared locally. They also need to act as an ambassador and continue to impact their community positively. All participants that are awarded a scholarship are also required to fundraise to offset their carbon footprint. This project has the potential to tackle all 17 SDGs which is why a gift to this fund is impactful and special.

Open The Door To Change

Dear Friends, Family & Our Amazing Supporters from Around the World,

Since launching our International Scholarship Program, your support has helped create global changemakers and young leaders who returned home and launched local initiatives in education, climate, and social justice. These aren’t just success stories. They’re proof that access changes everything. With over 94 initiatives setup from our Scholarships we can really say that this program is the key to fighting all global issues! To date we have fundraised and fully invested £25,585 and the difference this has made is incredible!

But like many programs, this one was hit hard by COVID. While the program never stopped, we simply haven’t had the funding to award many scholarships in recent years. And yet, our connection to the communities we serve has never been stronger.

Through our work with over 40,000 community members across more than 90 community programs, we meet brilliant young minds every day that are full of heart, grit, and vision. We know their names, their dreams, and their potential and all they need is hand-up to learn and gain the skills to put dreams into action.

And that’s what makes this program different: We don’t just fund applications. We handpick and invest in real people we know.

These are youth who have already shown leadership in the toughest conditions supporting their peers, starting local campaigns, and volunteering in community programs. They don’t just want to attend an event, they want to bring solutions back home and go to programs where they learn and equip themselves with new skills to implement real change.

And now, as our grassroots work expands across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, we have a list of powerful candidates ready to rise. All they need is that one opportunity to represent their community on the global stage.

So today, we’re reaching back out to you, the people who believed in this program from the start. The ones who understand that when one young person gets a chance, entire communities benefit. Please help us share our story, our project, setup a little fundraiser and help us promote the true amazing beauty of this program to our friends and family so we can come together and make real change!

Thank you for helping us keep the door open, quietly, persistently, and with purpose. Now let’s push it wide again.
