Moroccan Schools

Since 2011 Fleewinter has raised money to help schools in the coastal region to the south of Essaouira.

It is a small project, managed part time by volunteers in the UK and Morocco, so every Pound and Dirham raised goes directly to the programme.

We have been overwhelmed by the generosity of our clients and, back in 2011, our first project was the renovation of the primary school inland from Rebali Riads.

This was particularly rewarding as it was the same school that some of the Rebali staff and their families had attended, so it was wonderful to be able to give back to the community we work so closely with.

Hue Children’s Shelter, Vietnam

We have also been delighted to support Hue Help, a charity that works with disadvantaged children in central Vietnam to improve their health, education and future prospects.

Some of the aims of the charity are increasing both quantity and quality of food, assisting nearly all of the children it reaches to enter mainstream education, providing additional tutors and extra educational classes and organising extra curricular creative activities.

Hue Help also funds life-saving swimming lessons. In Hue city and throughout the province flooding is extremely common, yet many adults and children are unable to swim.

By providing free swimming lessons for the most disadvantaged children – who are also those most likely to be living in precarious housing in flood prone areas – we can help limit the human cost of extreme weather conditions.

Acokak, Turkey – run-of-river hydroelectric power plant

In 2022, we supported this hydroelectric project.  Located on the Karadere River in Trabzon province, Turkey, this project supplies clean energy following the implementation of a run-of-river type hydroelectric power plant.

Crucially, there is no impact on protected areas; national parks; reserve sites; historical or cultural sites or grassland, and the project provides local employment opportunities for a largely agricultural based work force, in an area with limited agricultural use permitted.
