Bright Tomorrows works to improve the lives of children at risk by joining with a number of overseas partners. We are involved in strengthening these partners by providing them with encouragement, material and financial support and we are also looking to implement skills training.
Our current partners are based in the following locations:
India
Bangalore
- see News/Events
The Bangalore project has established a thriving primary school. The school provides an education for some of the children from the nearby slum area. Bright Tomorrows has recently been involved in the funding of a new extension to allow the school to increase it's intake of children.
Kolkata
The Emmanuel project works to improve the lives of some of the city's many street children. The children are given a healthy breakfast, followed by informal schooling. A focus of the project is to provide practical skills training in order to secure employment in the long term.
Mozambique
Maputo

Venezuela
Merida
Bright Tomorrows
is currently sponsoring a group of children through
their primary education. These children would not be
able to go to school due to the challenges of poverty
faced by their families.
Zimbabwe
ZOE
Zimbabwe once
predicted to be Africa's first 'tiger' economy, this
country has been devastated by the AIDS epidemic and
political challenges. Many orphans are left struggling
alone and ZOE workers are enabling more effective care
in their communities.Bright Tomorrows helps to support
a key worker who is training these field workers in
the skills they need, such as counseling and trauma
management.
Bright Tomorrows believes
that strong relationships with local partners is an
essential element in the work of bringing hope to children
at risk. Establishing trust and pursuing integrity in
all our operations gives us complete confidence that
resources and support are utilised to best effect. It
also ensures that we are regularly informed about specific
areas of need and are able to respond as necessary.
