international developmentcharity that works to

unlock a childs potential

worldwide.

We work in partnerships with local

communities in the developing

world to improve childrens access

to healthcare, education, child

rights and protection.

Since our launch in 2004, we haveexperienced rapid and

organic growth. In just six years we

have established project offices in

Tanzania, India and Nepal andfundraising offices in the Canadaand the US.

We also fund projects in OccupiedPalestinian Territories andBangladesh, and are planning tosupport projects in Peru, Cambodiaand Chinain 2011.

To date, we have reached more

than 70,000 children.

As an organisation we are majority

funded by volunteer fundraising,

and attribute a large part of our

success to the dedication and

determination of thousands ofsupporters worldwide.

We believe that if an individual

chooses to donate their time,

energy and enthusiasm to ourcause, then we should give them

something truly valuable and

rewarding in return.

Our active and inclusivefundraising experiences offer

every individual the opportunity to

learn about global citizenship at a

grassroots level, and becomestakeholders in our projects

worldwide.

Our Projects

Childreach International takes

great pride in the accessibility of

our international projects and theway in which we communicate this

to our supporters.

We break down our projects into

easy to understand real life stories

so you can personally connect with

our key themes.

Below are four examples, each

demonstrating either health,

education, child rights and

protection.

If you would like more information

about our projects, please contact

Kate Wolfenden or Richard Snook

(contact details at the back of this

pack). They will be happy to

deliver you a personally presented

overviewof our projects or supply

you with an annual review.

In India, we work with our partner

platform to understand and advocate fortheir human rights and protect themselvesand other children in the area.

CSR: Partnerships

If you give, we give back

Our Corporate Partnerships divisionwas born out of a decade of senior

level commercial experience. This

invaluable insight has allowed us to

experiment boldly and intelligently

with the boundaries of where a

charity partnership can go.

Thanks to this, we have definedand shaped Childreach

Internationals Corporate Social

Responsibility agenda into the

award-winning programme it is

today.

We call this

CSR:

CSR: Partnerships is more than justentering into a donor-meets-

beneficiary arrangement. To us, it is

about developing a mutuallybeneficial and progressive

relationship - an opportunity forour charity to say thank you, in realterms, for your contributions.

We do this by first taking time to

get to know you. At Childreach

International, we seek to

understand the key needs and

objectives of your organisation and

aim to offer a tailor-made

partnership to achieve your CSR

goals.

Using key Corporate Responsibility

themes we develop meaningful

partnerships that can improve your

employee development and

retention, engage you with thelocal community, generate positive

PR for your organisation and even

save you money.

The result: A portfolio offundraising initiatives that directly

benefit you.

Futurebuilding

To date, Futurebuilding has been

our leading corporate initiative

and a consistent favourite amongstpartners. In fact, in 2010 it was

recognised as the

Best Overseas Project by the

Charity Business Awards inpartnership with Eaga Plc. But whatis it exactly?

Futurebuilding is an international

volunteering experience, whereparticipants form a team, travel

overseas, live in the local

community and work on one of our

projects.

How? By fundraising in the UK,

learning about grassroots

development and travellingoverseas to a project site to

become the active agents in thechange.

Whilst Futurebuildings original

success was grounded in personal

development and employee

enjoyment, partnerships to date

have developed into leadership

retention and development

programmes, company profile

enhancing events, employee driven

community engagement school

twinning schemes, corporate

hospitality and relationship

building adventures.

Its innovative and flexible

approach means that you can

shape your Futurebuilding

experience around the exact needsof your organisation.

A Futurebuild can happen with as

little as 12 willing volunteers, but to

see the full potential that

Futurebuilding can bring to your

organisation, please look at the

Case Study overleaf.

Eaga Plc. is the UKs leading green

support services company. Our

award winning five yearpartnership works to improve

schools in rural areas, which to

date has improved the lives of388 children in Tanzania.

2010 saw 60 volunteers in fourgroups travel to Tanzania over an

eight week period.

Group 1: Emerging LeadersAs part of a Future Leaders

professional development

programme, Eaga sent its most

promising talent to work on Lotima

Primary School. Their abilities were

first tested in the UK by fundraising

a total of 37,000 and then in

Tanzania over a two week period.

Various tasks were assigned to the

Future Leaders to encourage and

assess their leadershipdevelopment throughout this

experiential learning experience

Group 2: Corporate RelationshipBuildingEaga invited individuals from their

major corporate clients and

stakeholders, to become

FutureBuilders. Through corporate

sponsorship they funded their

project visit, and also

participated in the School Twinning

Programme.

Groups 3 & 4: EmployeeRetention and RewardDue to the unique structure of Eaga

the Eaga Partnership Trust, which

holds on behalf of the Partners

37% of the shares in Eaga,

responded to requests by the

Partners to help rural developing

communities in some of the poorest

regions of the world. The aim is to

give Partners a once in a lifetime

opportunity to live and work withinthese communities and to be able

to say they made a

difference. The EPT were able to

support 30 Partners to participate

in this project.
