Inspiring Deeds (Part Two)
The Point Foundation is a charity based in the UK whose mission is to support orphans. The objective of the Foundation is to raise sufficient funding to bring love, care, compassion and education to transform the lives of orphaned children around the world, but principally in Africa, from birth to 18 years of age.
“Five years ago we started privately funding a school we came across in a community near Phinda Game Reserve, Kwala Zulu Natal…but it was on a business visit to Rwanda that my husband Charlie came across the Noel Orphanage, when he visited the Pfunda tea plantantion nearby…and was so heartbroken by the plight of the 700 orphans he pledged to help them there and then, and so we offcially set up and registered the Point Foundation.”
Today the Foundation raises funds and provides on the ground support for 5 major projects helping around 2500 children, most of whom are orphaned and live in institutions.
