A year in review

The Wild Frontiers Foundation is now settling in to a quiet, but steady, function of taking money that is both donated from clients and raised through the sister company, Wild Frontiers Adventure Travel Limited, and distributing where necessary. Although there was again no specific fund raising event in this financial year, moneys did continue to come in, and these – and more – were donated to worthy causes.

Our main project at Baleygon in Northern Pakistan continued to grow. I travelled there in August 2012 and May 2013 and although things where slowed down by restrictive governmental decrees – all NGO operations in the region needed to be clear that they were bona fide – we feel we are back on track and hope to get the whole project finished in our next financial year.

Chitral School Scholarship

Pakistan

Jonny announces Chitral Education Scholarship at Ayun School, Northern Pakistan

WFF has continued its support of Prince Maqsood Ul Mulk’s educational trust for under privileged children of the Ayun valley – including the people of the Kalash – by providing a donation each year to help the most talented continue their education by attending college in Chitral Town. Choosing 5 children each year purely on merit, of either sex or any ethnic and religious background, gives the talented children of this remote region the only chance they have of further education. In 2012/13 WFF provided £750 for this trust.

Donated in 18 months to December 2013

Baleygon School Skardu District, Pakistan

As mentioned above, WFF continued its work with the Baleygon School project. Although building was closed for sometime during which we had to show to the authorities we were a bona fide NGO - all NGOs had to go through this procedure - work is now continuing and we expect to finish the first phase of the project early next year.

In the summer of 2012 the Kalash Valleys suffered terrible flash flooding with a wall of mud and debris crashing down the valley, wiping out buildings, filling others. With our close ties to the Kalash, our clients raised £1,225 and the Foundation topped this up. We donated £4,000 to help those affected purchase replacement animal feed which had been washed away.

Similarly in October 2012 there was a huge cyclone that hit Odisha/Orissa, displacing hundreds of thousands of Indian people, and leaving much havoc in its wake. Once again the Wild Frontiers Foundation came to the rescue by donating £500 to help the clear up operation.

Although most of the foundation’s resources this year were channelled towards our two main projects, in addition to these 2012-13 has also seen the WFF continue its worthwhile work in Rajasthan, and particularly around Castle Bijaipur, where our arboretum is in good shape with over 150 trees planted and the local school continues to benefit from the computer lab we helped establish. Through the excellent computer distribution charity, Camara, WFF also provided £1,000 for computers to be rebuilt and delivered to schools in Ethiopia. We also saw modest help go to educational project in Belize..

The futureWhilst we will continue to support the charities we have had a long-term relationship with, further energy will be given to the development of education in Northern Pakistan. With our charitable status now secure we will also work hard to consolidate the foundation’s position, and raise funds for it. Should disasters need our support we will also be there to help.

The other thing we wish to focus on this year, is raising funds. Although 2012 this extended accounting year saw us reach our target of raising £5,000, in the next two years we wish to do another high profile fund raising trip to raise at least £30,000 to see us expand into the future.
