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.
