Philanthropy
We believe in a world where no child is forced to live on the streets. Your philanthropic gift can keep children safe and give them the chance of a better life.
Our mission is to keep street connected children safe wherever they are in the world. It is ambitious, but with your support, we can make it a reality. We work closely with our supporters to create opportunities that align with your values and giving goals, while delivering meaningful, lasting change for vulnerable young people.
Supporters who give £5,000 or more play a vital role in protecting children living on the streets and transport hubs across the world. Your generosity allows us to reach further and respond faster—when children need us most.
Every gift you make helps keep children safe on the streets of Tanzania, India and the UK. But larger donations empower us to go even further reaching more children, more quickly, with greater impact.
By making a gift at this level, you’ll join a community of passionate supporters who believe in creating change where it matters most.
We know how personal your generosity is, and we’ll take a tailored approach to bring you closer to the change you want to see.
Whether you want to fund a specific project or simply help us reach more people in need, we’d love to talk to you about how your support can make an extraordinary impact.
We’ve already achieved a lot with the help of our partners and supporters. But there’s more to do.

Trusts and foundations
Support from charitable trusts and foundations provides vital funding for our work in Tanzania, India and here in the UK.
From helping to rescue street children in India to providing crucial intervention work to vulnerable children in the UK, trusts and foundations are invaluable to the difference we’re able to make.
If you are a trustee, or have links to a trust or foundation interested in transforming children’s lives, we’d love to work with you. By building strong partnerships we can achieve positive change for some of most vulnerable children on the planet.

“ECF have been supporting Railway Children’s work since 2013, funding projects in both India and Tanzania, and we have found the team to be passionate, well-informed, great at communicating and always able to satisfy our reporting requirements. We think they are doing important work with and for the children and young people on the streets of India and Africa. We would certainly recommend them to other foundations.”
