Schools
To date, we have established partnerships with 23 schools, and our network continues to grow as we expand our reach and impact. We believe that every child deserves the chance to reach their full potential, and we are proud to be part of a movement that is making this vision a reality.

Reading In Schools
Over the past five years, our charity has facilitated an impressive number of one-to-one reading sessions between our dedicated volunteers and children in need. Beginning with a prayer, each session lasts approximately 30 minutes and is focused on providing tailored reading support to each child. Through these sessions, we have been able to help over 13,000 children across the country improve their literacy skills and develop a love for reading.

Tennis In Schools
Over the past two years, we have provided approximately 750 children across seven schools with eight weeks of free tennis coaching, beginning with prayer. Our dedicated EfL coaches and volunteers have worked tirelessly to create a supportive and fun learning environment for each child, tailored to their needs. We are proud to offer these programs free of charge, giving every child the opportunity to develop new skills and reach their potential.
