Heart for Kids
Financial Support
BFX has been a valued supporter of Heart for Kids since 2017. Their contributions have made a significant impact during this time. Funding is focused on two main areas. Child Development Centres and Women’s Tailoring Schools.
Children in India often do not have a school they can attend or if they do, it’s prohibitively expensive. Heart for Kids Child Development Centres provide a safe place for children to learn.
Women in India often do not have the opportunity for education. Women come to “Sewing School” to learn tailoring through a free six-month five day per week school and upon graduation are provided with a sewing machine for free. This enables them to start their own businesses.
“Thank you BFX for enabling us to train and empower and save many futures.“ David Ryan – Founder & Senior Leader
