What makes us effective?

Taking children out of poverty through education

• We are “bottom-up’ – communities invite us in
• Administration costs are covered through

private funding

• We use education to empower not create

dependency

• We provide a long-term solution to

poverty whilst demonstrating short term results

Cost to set up one SoH = £6,000

We aim for sustainability but in reality follow up support costs less than £500 per year

Why should I support ChallengeAid?

• We compete against ‘immediacy’ and

‘proximity’

• We all want the best ‘bang for our buck’
• ChallengeAid is value for money, e.g. 2p /

child / day

• Although, we are always seeking self-

sustainability
