Knowledge economy Education is a driving force behind improvements in the quality of life. More educated communities face better economic prospects and less poverty. Whether in a developed country such as the UK, or one that is rapidly growing, such as India, education enables people to take advantage of the opportunities around them.
Locally, problems surrounding education differ. Children in poorer countries generally have a lack of basic education, meaning fewer choices and opportunities for young people. In wealthier countries, problems include disparities in the quality of education between wealthy and poor areas, lack of advanced skills for better job prospects, and social exclusion.
Though on the ground the problems differ, we believe that support for education and personal development is one of the best ways that Xansa can support our local communities.
106 scholarships and merit awards given to local schoolchildren in India worth 228,000 Rs (£2,646)
£10,600 raised in India to support three schools in Chennai, Pune and Noida
£35,000 raised by the Xansa Enterprise Challenge Team to help the Prince's Trust provide practical support including training, mentoring and financial assistance, to 14-30 year olds in the UK.
CASE STUDIES
Having the right facilities is an important component to learning - Xansa and Lloyds TSB Group, a long-standing client, are partnering together to help the Yash Memorial School in Noida, India
Making a difference for marginalised children - Building on our partnerships with two NGOs we launched mentorship programmes in Chennai and Noida. Xansa has now developed a standardised process for getting involved with local schools
Mentorship in UK - Xansa volunteers based on a client site in Chesterfield have forged successful relationships with four local schools
Prince's Trust - Xansa supports the Prince's Trust, a charity that works with 14 to 30 year olds in the UK who have struggled at school, have been in care, are long-term unemployed or have been in trouble with the law
