Sallo’s Birthday Fundraiser 2025
A Personal Message from Sallo
As the founder of Philanthropy Connections Foundation, Sallo has a long-standing tradition: each year, on his birthday, he asks for one special gift—not for himself, but for the children whose futures depend on the support we provide.
This year, as his birthday approaches on 8 April, his request is more urgent than ever.
Just last week, devastating earthquakes struck Thailand and Myanmar. Although our project areas were spared from direct damage, many of the communities we support—particularly in Myanmar—remain in grave danger. Armed conflict has forced countless families into hiding, with many sheltering in jungles and caves. Shockingly, attacks resumed just hours after the earthquake.
The Hidden Impact of Disaster
Education is more than learning. It is safety. It is hope.
When disasters occur, the world rightly mobilises. Emergency relief campaigns are launched, media coverage increases, and support pours in.
But there is a lesser-seen consequence: long-term projects like education for at-risk children begin to lose attention—and funding.
Sallo’s birthday campaign reminds us that without ongoing support, children living in extreme vulnerability may lose access to the only protection they have education.
These programmes do far more than teach—they keep children safe from:
- Human trafficking
- Forced labour
- Recruitment as child soldiers
- Drug abuse
- Sexual exploitation
For these children, education is more than learning. It is safety. It is hope.
