The Queen Silvia Fund - helping handicapped children through Scouting
There can be no task nobler than giving every child a better future.
The Queen Silvia Fund is an endowment which enables young handicapped people, all over the world, to benefit through Scouting. It was created as a lasting gift to commemorate the 50th birthday celebration of Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden.
The initial gifts of over US$100,000 came from the members of the World Scout Foundation's Baden-Powell World Fellowship. Since then the endowment has grown to a quarter of million dollars.
Even so this is amount is insufficient to meet all the needs and more contributions are sought to further this special work.
Her Majesty personally approves each project grant, the latest being a grant of US$10,000 in March 2003, to the Eurasia Scout Region to help disabled street children have the prospect of a better life.
