Build & equip schools
at both primary and
secondary levels,
including libraries
and nursery schools.
Provide Educational Awards giving the poorest
children all the essential
supplies, fees and support
to go to school.
Support communities
living in extreme poverty with smaller projects that enable their children to continue their education.
Educated communities
where children have better job prospects, resulting in long-term benefits to the village economy.

Our Commitment
Our mission supports the Education For All campaign (EFA), which is a global commitment by international leaders to provide quality basic education to all children, youth and adults. Click here to read more about the EFA campaign. Our work also helps to address at least three of the Millennium Development Goals: To achieve universal primary education, to promote gender equality & to eradicate extreme poverty & hunger.
The CAIRN Trust delivers projects that are low cost, appropriate to the financial & geographical conditions and within the capacity of the benefiting community to operate and maintain. In order to ensure that the communities are responsible, and feel a sense of ownership for the projects, we involve them in as many stages of the work as possible. We strive to ensure that the communities can sustain the projects after The CAIRN Trust ends it support.
We are also linked to UNESCO through the 2015 Literacy Campaign.
Monitoring and Evaluation
Our team conducts regular monitoring & evaluation to ensure that our projects run effectively and efficiently. Through this monitoring, our teams are able to consistently keep improving the projects and ensure that we have the best impact on the children.
