NGOs we support

The local organisations we support have been chosen because SSSK branch members and/or trustees have personal links with them. In each case, someone has spent time at the organisation and built up a relationship with some of its staff. We feel that this is crucial to SSSK’s approach to grant making. We are a small organisation and want to target our funding as effectively as possible. We also want to engage students in the issues affecting street-connected children and how they can be enabled to achieve their potential.
