Malcolm Cooper Smith, Trustee, St James’s Place Foundation
The St. James’s Place Foundation is proud to have supported Shivia over a number of years. We have done so because we like what they do and the way that they do it. All of the people we have met, whether from the UK or West Bengal, show a passionate belief and commitment to people in one of the poorest parts of the world, coupled with the skills to implement change. We particularly like the fact that they try to help people out of poverty by encouraging and enabling them to generate an income for themselves, providing them with a longer lasting benefit that will help the entire family. They set an example which we hope many more will replicate, both in India and in other parts of the world.
