What is New Day's charitable focus?

New Day focuses on helping the neediest children and women in Asia. Members look for charities, educational projects, humanitarian relief organisations, specific orphanages or shelters that New Day can assist. New Day always works in partnership with established charities in Asia. New Day utilizes collected money in two ways; either transforming it into a tangible resource prior to donation, or agreeing to the creation of a tangible resource through a established charity in advance of a financial donation. No blanket financial donations are be made, and we will always attempt to choose projects where those members with time, skills or energy can get involved in where appropriate.

Examples of ways New Day would help might include the following: buying the annual medical supplies for an orphanage, kitting out a playroom or playground for an orphanage or shelter, providing a related school with books and teaching materials, building a soccer pitch, funding counselling for previous sexual or physical abuse, providing bedding, clothes and kitchen facilities for a street children shelter, and so forth. What is important to note is that there is never simply a hand-over of money without a specific goal or follow-through. We will choose projects in a sustainable way and will avoid areas that create long-term dependency.
