Case study Medic Malawi
Thanks to the efforts of all fundraisers in 2012, the Toy Trust has pledged a grant of £100K to help build and run the ‘Toy Trust Orphanage’ which will accommodate and help care for 48 orphans in rural Malawi. The new facility will offer acutely-needed increased capacity and will provide a dedicated area for baby care. The orphan house will also be built with local labour, giving vital income and employment during the construction period.
“I am deeply grateful for the interest of the Toy Trust. This will be a wonderful and very beneficial project, helping orphans, and thereby a whole community. Similarly, without the pledge of continued support, Medic Malawi would not be able to embark on this scheme, which will clearly have significant running costs,”
Stephen Drew, Medic Malawi.
Since its foundation in 1990 by the BTHA, the Toy Trust has made a real difference to millions of children and their families in the UK and worldwide. Thanks to the support of the industry, over £3 million has been raised since the charity’s inception.
The main functions of the Toy Trust are to:
• Co-ordinate and organise various fundraising activities for BTHA members
• Make donations only to charities for children • Provide emergency aid in any crisis involving children 100% of the funds raised for the Toy Trust go directly to children’s charities, as all administration costs are covered by the BTHA or supported by no charge volunteer activity.
Money raised through fundraising events and other initiatives is distributed by the Toy Trust committee that meets five or six times each year to allocate grants to children’s causes in need of support. All projects and charities, whether local, national or international, will receive consideration from the committee.
Toy Trust funds help disadvantaged children and their families to: • Alleviate suffering • Support children through awful experiences • Encourage achievement through adversity • Purchase vital equipment • Provide care • Bolster existing initiatives • Initiate brand new projects • Satisfy basic needs
