New sponsor: Turing Foundation

We are very happy and grateful to announce that Turing Foundation is one of the new sponsors of Streetkids Engineering. Due to their support we are able to build the class rooms at the first floor.

The Turing Foundation is a private charity based in the Netherlands.
They strive to offer children and young people the kind of education that can help them structurally, encourage their independence and autonomy, and enable them to contribute to their communities.
The Turing Foundation regards education as a means to offer people new opportunities in their lives in a constructive, structural and respectful way. Moreover, education benefits not only the individual, but also his environment and society as a whole. It can be seen as a sustainable method of poverty reduction.
