Operating Philosophy

Any project in need of support is presented to SIP and given full consideration. Suggestions have come from our volunteers, children members and parents. Once a project is proposed and agreed in principle, a full feasibility study is undertaken by SIP representatives to evaluate whether the project is genuine and that the beneficiaries are children. There is a policy not to give any cash funds directly to supported centres but to work with them to meet the identified needs. The benefits for undertaking such projects are extensive and affect all who are directly or indirectly involved.

What can you do?

The SIP sub-committee meets monthly - so consider being part of this group to make a difference. There are numerous ways to be involved, so please contact us and we can join together to serve the children of the world.

SIP is learning and refining its efforts all the time. Any help in the form of new projects, advice, contributions (monetary or otherwise) and support is always welcome. Be part of a specific project team or join the organising sub-committee.

SIP have donated 6,443 care kits in the Porbandar district of India and you can read more information on the Porbandar page.

Mother of Peace

Mother of Peace, a children's orphanage for victms of AIDs and HIV in Zimbabwe, is one of the organisations we have supported in 2011. A donation of £2,080 paid for a new home to built for the extended family of Blessing, one the orphans at the Mother of Peace. Shishukunj's donation has enabled Blessing to be re-homed with his extended family. View the photos of his new home.
