Who we are

The Barrington Education Initiative (BEI) 
The Barrington Education Initiative (BEI)  is an Austrian private charitable foundation.
In our 2nd decade of providing resources to impoverished communities within the developing world, with a focus on improving the education, health and welfare of young children, we at BEI strive to provide care, wherever and whenever.
We cooperate with locally-based non-governmental organisations and professionals and are thus guided by their commitment, knowledge and experience. Together we promote and finance meaningful projects to achieve our common goals.
Since a child of today is an adult of tomorrow, we see it as our responsibility where possible, to do whatever we can to ensure a better tomorrow for them, their families and society.

Projects​
Our projects are exceptionally varied and include, amongst other issues, the development and upgrading of existing facilities and resources in order to create a healthy, safe and stimulating environment for children to grow and develop. Emphasis is also placed on capacity development and the education of parents, teachers, caregivers and community organizations.
​We continually make every effort not merely to donate funds - but to build bridges and become part of the projects and people we work with. As such BEI believes in direct and long term involvement in these projects in the hope that positive results at the local level will eventually spread and have a wider constructive influence on the lives of many more children.

Goals​
A major goal of BEI is to help improve these child-related improvement services in the belief that this will lead children from all parts of the world to enjoy a higher quality of life and contribute to the development of the child in his or her family and environment.
We at BEI share the belief that quality education can lead children from all parts of the world to a more equitable share in the benefits of technological and social progress.
​Contributing to life improvement provisions for children in Asia, the Middle East and Africa is therefore a focal point of BEI, and with our outstanding network of caring individuals 'on the ground', we help change lives - and futures.
