Description:

The Wonder Foundation is a charitable foundation established in 2012 as part of the Women’s Network for Development and Educational and Resources (WONDER) initiative. It aims to empower vulnerable women through education, both abroad and in the UK. Through the ‘Breaking the English Barrier’ initiative, it supports the Baytree Centre – a social charity for women and girls based in London- where they hope to make a meaningful impact through providing ESOL classes for adult asylum-seeking women and lifting up 14-18-year-old girls with the ‘IntoSchool’ programme. The latter initiative will target young girls who do not speak English and help them to become integrated into the school system.
