Targeted at vulnerable and disadvantaged children living in low income or poverty-stricken communities, our Grassroots Development projects provide resources and services to help bridge inequality gaps by providing access to quality education and improved health and wellbeing. This includes providing free and regular after-school learning in common academic subjects, as well as mentoring and nurturing individuals professional and career development. All our projects place a strong emphasis on nurturing leadership skills, including commitment, discipline, and responsibility for all the children we support.<\/p>\n

Whilst we support the children in common global health issues, many of the children we support face unique challenges including alcohol and drug abuse, early teenage pregnancy, and HIV infections. Our interventions in these communities\u2019 place strong emphasis on preventative health, while also supporting children who do not have the support or guidance when managing their individual health conditions.<\/p>\n

As the world becomes more dependant and reliant on technology and digital resources PTW ensures that the resource and infrastructure gap between the developing and developed world does not continue to grow. Providing digital infrastructure resources to the communities we support has become a key focus for PTW since 2020. Through access to the internet and audio-visual communication devices, we can further connect these communities to the rest of the world, giving them access to all the online health and educational resources and support that PTW can provide.<\/p>\n

PTW want to ensure that socioeconomic circumstances do not stop children from achieving their dreams and life goals by tipping the balance back in their favour and giving them opportunities for a positive future.<\/p>\n
