OUR CAMPUSES
Sri Lanka
Our first project began in 2014 in the country that inspired Gandys when brothers Rob and Paul lost their parents in the devastating 2004 tsunami.
OUR CAMPUSES
Malawi
Our Malawi campus opened in 2017 in partnership with African Vision Malawi, whose project provides an entire community with care, education, nutrition and apprenticeships.
In Malawi, only 40% of primary aged children attend school; the pupil teacher ratio is 62/1, and only 25% get into secondary school. In an area struggling to find funding for a pre-school, Gandys stepped in to provide this much needed and valued facility.
OUR CAMPUSES
Nepal
Our third Kids Campus opened in 2019 in Godawari, Nepal, a remote area badly affected by the Gorkha earthquake in 2015 and where child trafficking is also a huge problem.
Gandys support the work of Chora Chori Nepal who rescue children who have been trafficked and provide subsequent accommodation, therapy and repatriation, and deal with eliminating the circumstances which force families to unwittingly sell their children – some as young as 9 – to traffickers.
OUR CAMPUSES
Brazil
In 2020, we opened our Kids Campus in Rio, Brazil to support vulnerable children by helping to break the cycle of them becoming involved in the world of drugs and gangs.
Gandys were inspired by Scott Miles of Project Favela, whose endless enthusiasm, passion and commitment towards offering these children tools to build a better future was something we wanted the Gandys Foundation to be part of.
OUR CAMPUSES
Mongolia
Our fifth campus opened in Mongolia in 2021, aimed at breaking the cycle of widespread, extreme poverty through education.
Imagine watching your child scavenge for rubbish for money to help bring in food for your family. These are the conditions that some of the families in Mongolia face in the poverty-stricken Ulaanchuluut landfills area. We work with Veloo Foundation – a charity helping orphans and disadvantaged children – to help set up a campus for the children to visit.
OUR CAMPUSES
Guatemala
Our sixth Kids Campus, based in Guatemala, is due to be completed in September 2023. It is aimed at giving more children from deprived, rural areas the chance to further their education.
Gandys discovered Casa Guatemala, a project providing pre-school to primary education for around 200 children in a remote jungle area. Children who face extreme poverty, abandonment or abuse live in dormitories on site and Gandys are funding the building of an additional dormitory to house and protect more children.
