Many companies run schemes whereby they lend their support to employees involved in raising money for good causes. Some have ‘matched funding’ programmes that effectively match, pound for pound, donations made by their staff. Others look to their staff teams to decide how money raised by the workforce or donated by the business, is spent. If you are an existing supporter of KWTC, please do tell your employer about your involvement with KWTC, they may be willing to help us.

Because we are a charity that is all about EDUCATION, supporting KWTC can be particularly powerful for school children. A schools partnership with KWTC can help bring alive all aspects of Indian life, which can be incorporated into every part of the curriculum, as well as providing a meaningful basis from which to explore themes around global citizenship.
