Development
The world of development is changing fast. 'Development' projects spring up in every corner and it is amazing what small organisations can achieve, especially with support from external sources. It is of course necessary to consider such projects with care, sustainability is critical and one can never be too careful when having a good idea! What works for you may not work for someone else and it takes time to navigate a new path on an old principle.
Within our project profiles you will find schools in India, South Africa and England and details of scholarships and bursaries.
Development and the natural world as well as music, arts & design often go hand-in-hand so some projects may double up between these pages.
