Delta Philanthropies

Delta UK has two central, though broad and interconnected objectives: to eliminate poverty and to advance education. We believe these are inextricably interlinked, that the first will not be achieved without the second. Without advancing education, at all ages and stages of life, we will not be able to offer more than palliative care and a band aid to communities unable to help themselves.
