Projects

We have undertaken several projects to help the children and have others planned.

Our projects include teaching the children how to grow vegetables and become self sufficient by growing products on a Finca in Granadilla

Training in Hairdressing - We supported a girl from the centre to train as a hairdresser and become a qualified stylist through monies raise by performing on Tenerife. And we have now managed to secure employment for her in Los Christianos.

We guided a boy into car spraying courses to customise cars and provided work experience at a local garage in Guargacho.

We have enabled 3 children so far , to visit England on an annual basis to practice english language but also see other options within the world.

We have just completed an education centre in partnership with Sangha Animal Centre to teach the children how to look after and care for animals , as well as learning about the food chains and natures ways of providing food.

We provide Tennis lesson each week in Costa Del Silence to teach the children skills as well as providing exercise as part of their weekly routines .
