Welcome

How it works ...

The Steve Sinnott Foundation is not supported by any established fund from which it makes grants to other charities. It is rather an organisation which aims to connect organisers of projects aimed at achieving the Millennium Development Goals for education to each other, to potential donors of funds and equipment, and to teachers and educators around the world with experience and expertise to offer.

The Foundation partners other organisations in promoting and seeking support for selected projects. It also provides. on this website, an online community through which project organisers can draw attention to their projects and seek help and support from other community participants.

The community enables contributors to explore the projects posted on the site and to make direct contacts with the project organisers. If you're a donor, you can find out what the project needs; it may be cash but it may be books, pencils, pens computers, transport or even building materials. It may be your expertise and experience. You can decide for yourself what you want to support and how. Then focus your contribution directly on the project you choose.

If you are a receiver of help and support, then you too have things of enormous value to give back, your culture, your history, your way of life and your friendship.

Now you can make a donation to the Steve Sinnott Foundation just by texting SSFN15 followed by the amount of your donation (£1, £2, £3, £4, £5 or £10), and then send the text to 70070 - or click Donate for other ways to contribute.

'Get Shorty' winners' DVD

The Global Student Forum enables school students to critically explore contemporary development issues and their role as global citizens. Each year the GSF challenges students from GSF registered partner schools to write a concept and storyboard for a short film - the 'Get Shorty' challenge.

The 2010 winners of the Get Shorty challenge were students from Hannam High School in South Gloucestershire, England. They teamed up with Reggae musician, Ben Okafor, to produce a music video of a song they created with Ben to support Education for All. Proceeds from the sale of their DVD, that is 70% of the retail cost, will support the work of the Msaada Trust which assists children in Rwanda to attend school.
