What We Do
Helping children is our primary concern, whatever form that may take. The pandemic has been a particularly challenging time and we have helped families by providing food and paying for hospital treatment. The bigger picture is to enable families to take care of themselves and to this end, we aim to help caregivers establish businesses from which they can derive an income. Beyond that, we aim to shine a little sunlight into a child’s day, whether that means helping to pay for childcare and school fees or even a dinner or birthday party. Sometimes it’s the little things that count.
What We Do
We are a charity mainly focused on providing the best possible solutions for children who may not have had the best start in life, children who live in poverty or below the breadline. One main focus area is providing support to children who are unable to go through the education system. The educational system followed in most countries is not up to par, and this is what we target.
The fundamental problem of having to deal with the significant changes in the educational requirements of children is what we are fighting for with your charity and help. Please continue to read more about us and what we do.
Objectives
Our main objectives are based on the improvement of society that can influence significant advantages as well. The accumulation of disparities amongst children living without basic needs could contradict their development and essential grooming.So to combat these potential challenges, we chose to work on the various issues faced by children and society. Some significant objectives of our organisation are:
-
The prevention or relief of poverty
-
The advancement of education
-
The progression of health or the saving of lives
-
The relief of those in need, because of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantages
-
Any other charitable cause
Accumulation of possible issues must be addressed according to their significant aspects. Some of these aspects include isolating the potential problems within the education system, such as unequal distribution of curriculum. Equal opportunities to learn different subjects are something that most children studying in unprivileged schools do not have. Their struggle is what forces them to strive harder for intricate knowledge, and this creates a pathway for them to find success.RCF aims to work on that struggle and motivate children to strive harder and perform better under severe circumstances by offering them support in their education. Another area where we want to put in our most efforts is the health sector.
We are eager to provide multiple opportunities for children to live in good health and get the treatment they need when they need it. We make efforts to support them by paying for their hospital needs. Health expenses must be dealt with according to the available standards of health security.
Health insurance is often unavailable in some countries; even where available, insurance is unaffordable for the unprivileged, and this is the main reason why they are faced with inequalities in the primary health care system. Our main ambition is to save lives using the health facilities that are based on the requirements of each patient.

Purpose
The organisation aims to fulfil its objectives, carrying out exclusively charitable purposes primarily in relation to children, young people, vulnerable adults and people who the charity has assisted as a child and their families.
These objectives will be carried out by providing grants, a range of services, training and development opportunities for infants, children, young people, vulnerable adults, their mothers, fathers, carers and the professionals who work with them.
We understand that COVID-19 has impacted the overall health sector, and owing to these issues, we lend a hand to those who are not quite privileged. To correctly estimate the health requirements, we consider the health reports and the patient's financial status.
Patients dealing with significant problems can rely on RCF to deal with their issues because, irrespective of caste, colour or creed, we offer our services to those in need.
The advancement of Education
Education is taken for granted in most developed countries. However, that’s not the case globally, where poverty, crime, overcrowding, or simply being born the wrong sex can deprive a child of their education. Providing books, a place to learn, and volunteers to teach can make a tremendous difference in a child’s life, pushing them towards literacy and jobs. The Rufina Foundation’s goal is to help children receive an early childhood education as a springboard for their future learning. Currently, a quarter of a billion children do not attend school globally, with 420 million children not even knowing how to read or write. Covid-19 has only served to exacerbate this crisis.
We aim to pay school fees, set up extra lessons for kids, etc. (in third world countries). The issues regarding fee payments and financial problems are pretty difficult to comprehend; by understanding such matters, we maintain appropriate financial aid to children living in these third world countries. The foundation is mainly linked to the local avenues in which there are many issues related to education.
We also aim to facilitate further lessons in subjects through after school clubs (in England and Wales). Pushing forward the classes taught in the curriculum subjects can spread awareness amongst the youth as well. We believe in educating the masses based on the social issues to improve the major factors responsible for societal development
The prevention or relief of poverty
This is a big part of what we do. We aim to go to impoverished areas and provide resources to help people from not so good backgrounds. This may include setting up parents/carers with a means to sustain a household system.
Poverty has been a significant problem for most nations as it can cause major issues for the overall households within a society. A feeling of uncertainty is something that is intricately developed, and this indulges people into committing crimes because of the inability to make both ends meet.
The poverty rate amongst working households in the UK is the highest ever. This is due to rising childcare costs, rising property prices and higher rents. The COVID-19 pandemic has further plunged households who are disadvantaged into poverty as thousands lost income. As of 2021, it is estimated that around 15 million people are living in poverty – this includes children. We are based in London, one of the cities with the greatest concentration of child poverty. We work to provide essential needs for children living in poverty.
The advancement of health or the saving of lives
We aim to pay hospital bills and work with health professionals to ensure that children have access to adequate healthcare. Most children during these challenging times face issues in striving harder for better engagements as well. We develop possible avenues for the opportunities for advanced healthcare for young children.
Without adequate nutrition, everything in a child’s life comes to a grinding halt. English football player Marcus Rashford has been instrumental in highlighting the issue of childhood hunger in the UK. The same is true of many countries around the world. The Rufina Children’s Foundation aims to provide counselling, support for mothers unable to breastfeed, malnutrition screening, and vitamin supplements. With the coronavirus variants anticipated to cause more hardship in the future and climate change leaving many families displaced or without work, getting food to those in need is more vital than ever.
The relief of those in need, by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantages
We aim to provide the necessary needs of children. We also help children that have been affected by trauma, trafficking or abuse. Multiple social issues have been responsible for the effective transition of social problems into possible solutions.
We understand the patterns of these social issues that could result in major problems; thus, we know that we need to improve the way such cases can be assessed. We specifically believe that children with some disabilities that mainly involve down syndrome are pretty smart if appropriately trained.
Owing to this, we develop possible alternatives for these children to take part in the multiple activities of life actively. We also provide children with the option of choosing their own future goals by engaging them in activities that help them in overcoming problems
Any other charitable purposes
We aim to generally ensure that children can keep their childlike innocence and have a happy childhood. Some other charitable areas include providing children with the opportunities to enjoy multiple outings and recreational visits. We believe that children are quite feeble and can easily be moulded, so we are mostly willing to provide them with an experience that helps them in relief.
