Mitchell Group has a child sponsorship programme in partnership with World Vision. All of the team are encouraged to participate on an individual basis and the company felt it important to show how their monthly donations were being utilised.
It was decided to send four of the team from Cheshire Oaks to Kimu, Uganda, for what turned out to be a life changing experience. Over the course of four days they visited two World Vision projects to see the work in progress amongst some of the world’s poorest areas.
The team discovered that as World Vision is centrally supported by the government, it allows them to assign 87% of all donations directly to the people who need it most. Additionally, the time scale involved in any one project is typically 15 to 20 years as there is an extensive re-education of the local communities as well as structural development.
