  We support Help for Hope which promotes equal opportunities for all children.

  It was founded by a group of like minded life science professionals, one of whom recently helped us on a personal level. We were touched by their ethical approach whereby all admin costs for the charity are paid for by their own businesses.

  This means that 100% of our donations directly support specific projects to help underpriviledged children, providing them with opportunities to become agents of a better future. Link: help-for-hope.org
