Results speak for themselves

Results speak for themselves

People’s Trust was founded in 1990 by Dirk van de Wijngaard. Since then hundreds of projects have been accomplished, the results speak for themselves. Also projects where People’s Trust doesn’t contribute to anymore still make progress. Like the thousands of children going to school in a building that was built by People’s Trust, but which we don’t count anymore in the subjoined summary. The power of People’s Trust we get from the tangible results we score. Each year hundreds of girls are liberated, we support more and more villages, hundreds of children go to school and tens of girls get professional education..
