The Seeway
Trust is a small South West UK based, inter-denominational Christian run charity, who's members are dedicated to
helping children who live in impoverished areas of the world. Our
primary vision is to see children rescued from poverty
and given the opportunity to grow up and live a life useful to the
society in which they live. Our mission - to rescue God's
children.
Our
aim - To provide children with food, a home as part of a caring family, a good
education and a future.
WHAT
WE DO
Many
children of the world live in desperate poverty, with no food and
not even a roof over their head. They sleep under bushes, trees,
boxes and rubbish, many are abused or left abandoned to die. Our
mission is to provide some of these children with not only food and
a roof, but also a caring home environment to allow them to
flourish.
We also try
and ensure their educational needs are catered for, so that they may
grow up to be a useful part of the society in which they live.
Sometimes
this involves finding or building, a suitable orphanage and
supplying funds to cover the costs. Other times it means helping
provide a school classroom, or starting a farm to provide food,
supplying a nurse and setting up medical facilities, or digging a
bore hole to provide fresh water. But
whichever, it always means supplying money
!
WHY DO WE DO IT?
This is Prince, he was found on a rubbish tip, we believe he was only one
day old and birds were starting to eat his umbilical cord. He was taken to
the Countryside Children's Welfare Home near Accra, Ghana.
This home is in
partnership with Seeway Trust and Prince is now sponsored by a couple from
the UK. This sponsorship will take care of his basic needs such as food,
clean water, somewhere to sleep, clothing and
education.
There are many children with similar stories as Prince, £18 a month will
sponsor such a child. Its not a lot to ask is it?
WHAT
HAPPENS TO YOUR MONEY?
All money
donated goes towards the children.
When
you give to the Seeway Trust - 100% of donated money to goes to
where it is most needed, - to shelter, feed, clothe and educate
children in our care.
Our
trustees, board members and helpers, are volunteers who burn
with desire to help children who are desperately impoverished. We
take no pay, not even our expenses are taken from the donations.
We use our holidays to make visits and oversee all our projects, -
the children's rescue homes, feeding programmes, building projects
etc.

NOTHING! * * *
HOW
IS THIS POSSIBLE?
The UK
Government operates a 'Gift Aid' scheme, whereby tax paid on
donations, are reclaimed by the charity that is supported. From 1999
and 2000 the Seeway Trust administration costs were approximately
3%. This is far less than what we managed to recoup from your Tax
paid to the Government. So we are pleased to be able to continue to
say - that all of your money given will be used for the benefit
of the children.
THESE
CHILDREN NEED YOUR HELP!
For as
little as £7 per month, you can ensure that a needy child in
the Ukraine will eat one square meal a day, - five days a
week, - for a whole month!
£18 a month sponsors a
child in Ghana for all their food, shelter, clothes and
education!
One off gifts and
donations help provide our orphanages with improved facilities
and can help buy land, build classrooms and medical centres, or
start farms for feeding programmes.
YES - YOUR
HELP IS DESPERATELY NEEDED

to help please read our 'How You Can Help' webpage or contact
