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.
