Welcome to the Helen Margaret Owen Foundation

It is our heart to support the most vulnerable children in education, to raise their prospects and unlock a better future.

Our students come from very poor backgrounds and we are currently caring for 70 orphans. We were founded to provide a quality eduction to children who wouldn’t otherwise be able to go to school.

Your donation will not only directly benefit the children, you are also helping to build a thriving community.

Every Child Deserves a Better Future!

 

We are laying foundations and building so much more than a school. We are an established school which benefits the children, community, economy, raising prospects and unlocking a better future.

In 2019 we became a small charity under the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
