Yearly Pledge Scheme

FOTIS Patron Scheme 2025/26: BACK TO SCHOOL!

It’s back-to-school time for our children and grandchildren, and thanks to your support, our FOTIS students are also preparing for new semesters of learning.

In an increasingly difficult environment for non-profits around the world, FOTIS continues to  raise and distribute  funds, this year adding  projects in Burkina Faso and Haiti to our portfolio. Since 2008 we have supported over 300 students, in 12 countries over 4 continents. This amounts to around 1500 school years and over one million francs. As a small volunteer-run charity, we have minimal overheads, so all our donations go directly towards helping individual students, who otherwise would not be able to complete their education. 

 For our 15th anniversary in 2023 we launched our ‘Back To School’ campaign, and this year we are again asking you to become a FOTIS Patron by pledging your annual support. It couldn’t be easier to sign up to the Patron Scheme, as an individual, family or corporate.
