The Oaktree Foundation (UK): Welcome to Oaktree UK!

Oaktree is an entirely youth-run international aid and development organisation that aims to:

  1. Raise funds for projects that empower young people in developing communities through educational opportunities.
  2. Mobilise a generation of young people to respond to the issues of injustice and poverty facing our peers across the world.
  3. Be the voice for young people on issues of development.

We are led completely by volunteers under the age of 26! We're young, we're passionate and we're committed to working in partnership to

fight the reality of poverty. We believe that education is the key to making lasting change.

Oaktree is about young people standing up to take action. In a world where we can be reduced to token responses to poverty, we believe that young people can be leaders who don't just talk about change, but create it.

Oaktree is a Christian organisation. We retain these values, but believe that fighting poverty and empowering young people through education is a universal mission. As such we welcome people from all faiths and backgrounds, and do not fund evangelical projects.

The action we take and the way we live out our mission is focussed on young people, education and sustainability.

Oaktree UK was founded in December 2007, and are currently gearing up towards a national launch in September 2008.
