Progress

The East West Foundation continues to support our children that have grown up to pursue further studies. Currently, some of our past students are studying online where possible during the COVID-19 lock down and have also been helping at our children’s home looking after younger children, cooking, cleaning and gardening to contribute and give back in their own way.

The East West Foundation’s tertiary fund is designed to support these older children to realise their potential and dreams by supporting the continuation of their study or vocational training.
