ABOUT
More Than a Dent has been established to deliver projects with a long term impact to communities in need all around the world, with one project being funded per year.
Only projects that offer long term benefit to communities are selected and then fundraised for. Measures are put in place to support the project's delivery of their objectives over the long term.
This is very much a small focused charity with a big heart. We have no office, no employees and no shortage of enthusiasm from those who buy into the idea that projects with a long term focus can positively benefit the communities around them.
How will it work? Rather than applying for large grants, we communicate each of our projects' worth and benefit to those around us and convince them to support the cause. Although this is much harder, it results in a more meaningful impact
OUR PROJECTS:
-
2024 End Child Labour - Plastic Recycling Project
