The Global Innovation and Education Fund

Hello Supporters! 

Sadly donations have taken a huge hit with the cost of living around the world hitting our pockets, we fully understand that many of our amazing supporters don't have the funds to support us as before, we thank you for your support in the past and while we actively fundraise for this project so we have enough funds to support a future scholar we thought we would take this opportunity to look back at one of many of our success stories...

Do you remember Georgia Illingworth and Anthony Jordan, who were both local community members in South Africa both of them showed huge passion and determination. From low income families the thought of higher education was a far away dream but through determination and hard work they went up against 700 other applicants for 1 of 40 spaces on a Nursing degree and were successful. To help them stand out from the crowd and to gain experience, Action Change awarded Georgia and Anthony a scholarship to help them enhance their experience and joined a local project in South Africa working with the community on health and wellbeing.

This experience and exposure demonstrated their commitment while enhancing their soft skills and communication which lead to them getting onto a degree course and today they work in local community hospitals giving back to community members in need, Anthony specialised in Nursing for Adults with disabilities and day to day is helping community members transform their lives while Georgia 5 years on is pushing through the ranks and training new nurses in the community while running outreach programs in townships. 

Your donation allowed a dream turn into a reality that is changing the lives on thousands of people living in poverty, when we got back in touch with Anthony he gave some advice for others 

“My advice would be to others, do it! It's amazing, life changing and even though it can be emotional, it's well worth it.

Georgia mentioned that "The trip for me was life changing, I am today a different person and just want to use this experience to help others in my community. Again thanks to Matty and Charlotte, you guys were absolute diamonds and deserve a lot more than just a pat on the back for it! "

Our scholarship program helps people that really have the motivation, passion and drive to learn and develop themselves so they can return and help their community tackle the global issues they face, donations to this program are very special as it helps us equip and tool then community to save themselves! 

Thank you for being apart of this special project,
