Partner Organisation

PRDS has been partnering with an Irish charitable organisation called Calcutta Connect since 2017. Our organisations first met in 2016 and after consultations between both groups we decided to enter in to a partnership beginning in 2017 when Calcutta Connect agreed to fund the PRDS programme. Over the subsequent years with the support of Calcutta Connect, we were able to further expand our programme to additional communities.

With the growing numbers in our centres, we embarked on a plan to redevelop or construct new centres in the three communities where we work. With the support of Calcutta Connect we were able to construct new buildings in each community. The new centres now greatly serve each community with programmes taking place throughout the day to best serve the students who come to our centres every day. We enjoy a great working relationship with Calcutta Connect management and regularly have visits from their members to witness first-hand the impact their support is having in our project.
