www.fieldmarshamfoundation.org website launch
July 12th, 2010 by Bethany Lee
Rita and Charles Field-Marsham live between Africa and Canada and operate businesses in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ghana and Toronto. Working with the Rita and Charles Field-Marsham Foundation has been a worthy and meaningful experience for us here at Focus on Media.
Their foundation goals are guided by their views that:
- The private sector must involve itself in a meaningful way with development initiatives and goals
- Individual philanthropy at any level is essential to supplement private and public sector efforts
- Beneficiaries (country partners or communities) of projects should be ‘partners’ and should contribute to the process so they have active ownership and responsibility
- The foundation works are particularly focused on issues affecting children and young adults. The foundation is guided by the UN list of children’s rights and the United Nations’ Millennium goals.
The foundation website was recently launched, and we encourage you to be inspired by their works and follow them on facebook.
