The Venkat Memorial Trust

When Alex very first met her gorgeous Johnny Boy (that’s her husband to-be BTW!), you can imagine the glee in her eyes when he told her he was a trustee of The Venkat Trust - an education based children’s charity out in South East India - providing an education to poverty stricken children. It was literally the icing on the cake! Alex had always imagined being closely connected to a precious charity giving her something to get a community behind - and that they certainly do! John and Alex sponsor 5 children a month to be educated and a small amount of the money each month also ensures their welfare is looked after, as well as going towards further education in the future. 

We raised £1000 and these funds are now buying smart furniture to kit out a wonderful new University Student Common room in the village, to give the Uni students a really grown up and smart place to hang out and look to their bright futures, away from small cramped houses where they reside. Many of the Ubermummies community also sponsor children to go to school (£14 per month per child) and this fills our hearts with nothing more than pure joy, knowing we are ALL making a big difference and giving the children such a flying start at a life they never would have without our help.
