About The Shade Trust
The Shade Trust: A Beacon of Hope and Support
At The Shade Trust, we believe in the power of partnership to create lasting change. We collaborate with a network of NGOs, trusts, and institutions dedicated to alleviating poverty among orphans, widows, and single women through sustainable strategies. Our approach is holistic, aiming to enhance the quality of life by improving access to quality education (including mainstream and religious studies), healthcare, and livelihood training, ensuring a foundation for a stable future.
Central to our efforts is the Caravan project, a cornerstone initiative through which we channel our support. By focusing on fundraising, we empower the Caravan project to provide vital services to orphans and widows, particularly from vulnerable sections of society. Education for orphans and support for widows are our top priorities, ensuring they receive the care and opportunities they deserve.
Transparency and accountability are the hallmarks of our operation. We maintain a rigorous monitoring system to ensure the correct utilization of funds. This includes detailed reports, audits, inspections, and personal visits, all aimed at guaranteeing that every penny makes a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve.
