What we do

WE WORK TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Our strategy is to focus on building stronger community engagement to support students and teachers, on specific areas where we are uniquely placed to make the biggest impact: addressing the grassroot core symptom of deprivation in the education systems of children, the lack of educational supplies and their educational environment.

As a charity we approach this strategy through several targeted educational programmes.

PROJECT LOCATIONS

WE WORK TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

ROMANIA

We explore the practical ways Improving the well-being of children living in poverty with focus on the growing core symptom of deprivation due the lack of educational supplies along with addressing the large disparities in education infrastructure for rural schools

BRISTOL (UK)

We support local grass root organisations with essential items, from supplying the homeless with vital supplies to educational projects dedicated to breaking the link between family income and educational achievement through to workshops aimed at cognitive impairment (Dementia) relief activities.

VISION IN A BACKPACK

We firstly address the grassroot cause via the programme ‘Vision In A Backpack’ by supplying children facing disadvantage with fully equipped school backpacks, filled with high quality stationery and learning materials that will enable a child to express themselves and above all learn.

AURA'S ESSENTIALS

Families are unable to afford an array of essential hygiene and life essential products, these basic items effect on the education, health and general quality of life of the children attending school. With extremely limited funds to cover the cost of everyday essentials, families are being forced to choose between buying food or personal hygiene, clothing or shoes - so we support with such items precisely where it is needed taking these concerns away from attending school.

REBUILDING AND REFURBISHMENT

Our educational infrastructure programme is improving the quality of school facilities, the physical and emotional health of students and teachers depend on the quality of the school, equipment and facilities, which makes establishing safe, healthy school building essential.

XMAS GIFTBOX APPEAL

Since 2015 the Aura Ion Foundation annual ‘Christmas Giftbox’ appeal has given over 5000 ‘Shoebox’ size Giftboxes to children bringing the same joy of Christmas we experience to the children we support in Romania.
