The Foundation team and our Board of Trustees were delighted to host our first Partner Learning Day of 2024 in June, focusing on two of our improving livelihoods projects. It was inspiring and thought-provoking to hear from the Chief Executives of Dig Deep (Africa), Ben Skelton, and Cleft Lip and Palate Association (CLAPA), Claire Cunniffe, who spoke about how their work is impacting underserved communities, the challenges they continue to face and their organisations’ ambitions. There were many takeaways from the day, including learning that to date our grants have: •Provided clean water to 1,500 students and 2,000 community members in Bomet County, Kenya 💧 •Enabled the distribution of 518 Welcome Packs to parents of babies with clefts and provided support to 1,554 families 👪 We would like to thank Ben and Claire for their time and their dedication to sustainably improving lives 👏. #CrodaFoundation #ImprovingLives #ImprovingLivelihoods
It was fantastic to meet everyone - such a welcoming team. It was a privilege to attend, to meet you all and to hear about the life changing work that Ben Skelton and the team at Dig Deep (Africa) are doing. Thank you!
