Brightlingsea Academy

The Brightlingsea Academy provides life-changing education to 350 children aged between 6 months and 14 years. It is the only free and disability-safe school in the region.

The Girl Power Project

We provide safe shelter, care and dignity to the young women on our Girl Power Project, providing them with the environment they need to complete their education and build an independent future free from poverty.
