Scott Wilson Millennium Project

Millennium Project

The Scott Wilson Millennium Project is a registered charity, focussed upon the relief of poverty, hardship and distress among children in developing countries throughout the world. We make no profit from Project activities, and at least 95% of all proceeds collected go directly to help children in the projects supported by the Scott Wilson Millennium Project.

All of our donations are provided direct to source – there is no danger of funds being lost via 3rd parties, and we witness an immediate impact, even when donations are on a small scale. In this way we ensure donations are used in the most effective way possible and we ensure every donation makes a difference.

Since the Millennium Project started in 2000, we have raised more than £90,000 through staff donations and provided support to children’s projects in more than a dozen countries. Some of our recent projects include:

The Scott Wilson School, Mozambique. In 2008, we are building a school for 200 children. It cost us £25,000, but that’s just £100 per child to give the gift of education, to give a child an opportunity to raise themselves and their family out of poverty, to give hope to a whole community. And not only are we financing the school, we will ensure its operation for 5 years and have offered 43 Scott Wilson employees the opportunity to volunteer to help us build the school in Mozambique through our project partners Quest.

The Christopher Care Home, Sri Lanka and the Masincedane Special Care Home, South Africa. Our on-going projects to provide basic care equipment to disabled children.

The Straseni Orphanage, Moldova; The Pamela Sewing Centre, Sri Lanka; The Jayasekera Children’s Home, Sri Lanka; The Home of Joy, Uganda; The Chikondi Children’s Home, Tanzania. Just some of our projects which provide shoes, clothes, care equipment, washing machines, medicines, playground equipment, computers and many other items every year to hundreds of children.

The Sheila Kothavala Institute for the Deaf, India. £50 provides a hearing aid for a child and gives the gift of hearing for life. Transforming children’s lives at the local level – this is what the Scott Wilson Millennium Project is about.
