AWR Lloyd Foundation
The AWR Lloyd Foundation is dedicated to supporting underprivileged and disadvantaged children in the Asia-Pacific region. The Foundation has two main areas of focus:
- Helping kids living in poverty or in danger – and children in need of special protection and care. The AWR Lloyd Foundation targets charitable projects in Asia-Pacific for street kids, orphans, children in war-zones and refugee camps – and children with terminal or incapacitating illness.
- Educational projects which enable underprivileged kids in Asia to go to school – and to stay at school. The Foundation is particularly keen to support education projects with a positive multiplier dynamic whereby when these kids are older they can enter into constructive careers which bring value and stimulus back to their home countries and communities – via business enterprise, social projects, public service or other work.
Some examples of charities supported by the AWR Lloyd Foundation in recent years:
