Our basic aims

Work­ing with poorly-resourced orphan­ages in Asia, our basic aims are to:

• improve children’s phys­i­cal health,well-being and secu­rity, and
• help them to acquire skills which will give them a bet­ter chance of find­ing employ­ment, and thereby
• enable these chil­dren to become more inde­pen­dent, and less vul­ner­a­ble to exploitation.

We work in close coop­er­a­tion with local (in-country) part­ners at each of our cho­sen loca­tions, and ensure that the recip­i­ents of our aid are actively involved in the design and imple­men­ta­tion of the project work.  Day-to-day man­age­ment of our projects is han­dled locally, but direc­tors and other mem­bers of The Man­dalay Projects visit the project sites peri­od­i­cally, to ensure that the objec­tives of the project are being achieved.
