Queens' and Clare Overseas Education Fund (QCOEF)

Please click on the pictures to enlarge

The Queens' and Clare Overseas Education Fund is a student run, charitable organisation based over the two colleges. Our aim is to raise money in order to help fund various educational undertakings overseas.

Our main source of funding at the moment comes from ordinary students who add a small sum to their college bill and from running events such as ents, although we are currently embarking on a drive to expand the ways in which we raise money.

The projects that we support vary considerably. We have recently sent money, for example, to the Kenyan Education Partnerships, which works with students from Oxford and Cambridge in providing sustainable help to secondary schools over a period of two years. This is in addition to the African Prisons Projects, which provides education to African prisoners by building and developing libraries, enabling them to learn to read, to take O levels and A levels, and generally improve their quality of life whilst in jail.

We are always looking for people to help with various fundraising projects; if interested, please contact QCOEF Chair, Calum Davey at cd361@cam.ac.uk . We are also pleased to hear from organisations which are looking for funding. If you are a representative of a project which you think may be eligible, please contact our Proposals Co-ordinator, Amy Baxter at ab615@cam.ac.uk for

details on how to apply.
