King Edward’s School in Birmingham has started a “sponsor a child” scheme in which donors commit to sponsoring a boy for his entire education. A total cost, if the boy is in year 7, of about £65,000. It is not alone: South Hampstead High School has a similar scheme and, beyond school, the University of Oxford is considering starting one. As John Claughton, the school’s chief master, says: “Donors like it: they feel they are making an immediate difference; being a force for the good.”"

Hosted by the Australian Women Donors Network, the campaign peddles the important message that philanthropy needs to focus more upon women and girls. As Coslovich rightly says: ''You really couldn't get more provocative.'' Why should women and girls be singled out?"
