About Us
BeginningsSchoolchildren for Children was founded by Iestyn Thomas in 2005 in his home country of Wales. An avid and active youth rugby coach, Thomas was disappointed by the lack of fitness he observed amongst students at the local schools. He envisioned a way to motivate children to become more active by way of helping others. ScfC was formed to aid disadvantaged youth living in appalling conditions in the developing world, while simultaneously encouraging UK schoolchildren to lead healthier lives.

Putting ScfC's Mission into Action
We help schools, teams and youth development groups plan their participation in one or more assorted ScfC events. Children, youth and adults may walk, run or jog a mile and pledge to raise money for their efforts. They can swim, bike or jump rope, too. The list is meant to be large and accommodating. All funds raised go towards programming in developing countries related to education, sustainability, HIV/AIDS prevention, and youth health and fitness. Participating groups may opt to keep half of the money raised to support their own wellness programs with the remaining portion going to ScfC sponsored programs throughout the world.
