Foundation
Because
Education Teaches All:
The letters BETA
stand for Because Education Teaches All. An English name has
been chosen because the foundation will be active in India and the
English language is the obvious choice to make ourselves
understandable.
Mr Beta Orie:
The foundation is named after my father, Beta Orie. My father was a
simple man who without any hesitation
could give his food or money to children. He always regretted not
having had the chance to go to school.
Therefore he thought that it is very important for all children to
have the opportunity to have access to
a proper eduction to lay a good basis for his or her future.
I share this thought with him and because of the positivity he had
for this, I named this foundation after
my father.
Beta in Hindi
Literally translated 'BETA' means 'son' in hindi. However in general
boys as well as girls are called 'Beta' but then meaning 'child'
The vision of the BETA
Foundation is to strive for a world where all children have access
to a good quality
primary education. The vital condition and development chances in
the Netherlands are far more greater than in India. The BETA
Foundation is a non-profit organization that wants to contribute to
improvement of the living conditions by supporting small-scale,
concrete, verifiable projects in India. We want to achieve this by
cooperating with already exisiting foundations. If every child has
access to education then this child may be able to break through the
cycle of poverty and lay a good basis for himself and his
environment. Our ambition is to get as many children as possible in
school regardless of race, religion or culture because this is the
way to get rid of world poverty. Start with the children as they are
our future.
- Vision BETA Foundation -
Everyone
has the right to a bright future. We try to make education
accessable in places where it is not
self-evident.
- Mission BETA Foundation -
Helping to
create the necessary foundation, a firm base, with which the
disadvantaged children are being enabled to improve their own
situation and with that laying the base for a better future.
- Mission Statement Beta Foundation -
