After 18 years, thousands of children have gained  life-changing opportunities from BTO sponsored programs, which are now  winding down.

BTO’s success would not have been possible without the generosity and support of our donors. To all of you, we are deeply grateful. Your contribution to our work has improved the lives of many grateful children.

When BTO was founded, one of its guiding principles was to build capacity in the organisations we supported so that they could become independent of BTO. We invested heavily in all our partners to develop and manage programs that not only survived but would thrive once BTO funding came to an end.

In 2024, we decided to stop investing in new projects and seeking new partnerships. Instead we focused on collaborating with our partners to gradually reduce our involvement in their activities.

While we celebrate that our partners have graduated from their reliance on our funding, we are not yet ceasing our operations entirely.

During 2025 – and possibly beyond – we will support our partners to ensure they transition smoothly to new funding arrangements. We arealso putting in place long-term funding for the college education of some of the young people  who have been through the programs we have supported.

While our activities may be winding down, our website will stay online for now. It will remain a record of our achievements and provide a portal through which you can still  contact us.
