The Payton Foundation partners with charities and investors to help transform the lives of the poor and the vulnerable.
Rather than “re-inventing the wheel”, we partner with well established organisations already doing great work and supports them with the resources to make it happen. We focus on projects that bring transformation through: education/training, housing and health.
Partnering with local organisations, we develop personal relationships to ensure that resources are deployed appropriately. We choose partners who demonstrate integrity, transparency and accountability in financial management. And we stay close to them keeping them accountable so you can trust that your gifts are being used effectively.
Our aim is to provide support and education for the whole person, to effect the long term relief of poverty in body, soul and spirit.
