"Intense Dedication"

rob salomon

Field Advisor at Lloyd George Asia Foundation

“I have known and worked with Philip for a number of years, both in the remote countryside of Nepal and in Kathmandu. I have always been struck by the intense dedication he brings to his work -- helping poor and vulnerable communities, especially children -- as well as his integrity, clear-sightedness and his genuine compassion for people in difficult or dangerous circumstances. I believe his devotion to helping others has been grounded on Philip's personal life experiences, his intelligent understanding and appreciation of the challenges presented by charitable undertakings, his honesty, and his strength of character.”

"I was delighted when this charity was introduced to me as an organisation worthy of support. With its roots in Nepal and a huge belief in access to education, Philip’s work was exactly what I was hoping for. A chat with him, as well as reading his brutally honest memoir, further cemented my impression that this was a genuine organisation with true heart.Philip is structured, no nonsense and has the biggest of hearts. He doesn’t shy away from the absolute worst and is incredibly aware of the circumstances he is dealing with. He is a realist when it comes to Nepal - his love for the country and passion for his project is admirable and inspiring"

"A realist when it comes to Nepal"

NIGEL CLARKE

Head of Information Design at Heathrow

“I hope you have heard of the saying - 'If you want to get things done, give it to a busy man'. I first met Philip over 20 years ago when he was certainly very busy! He devised an event to raise funds for his charity at The Drapers’ Hall in the City of London. In this case, he set up an art studio in Nepal where the rescued children were trained and created pieces of art. They had new purpose which ended in tangible achievements. Philip was well organised, reliable and robust. But most of all he was trusted to deliver. You know with him that there will be actions and results and you can be sure he will be driving it.”

"Highest integrity"

sarah symons

Founder & CEO of Her Future Coalition

"Philip is a person of the highest integrity. He has a beautiful vision of giving the most vulnerable women and children the means to lift themselves out of poverty and exploitation. No matter what obstacles he faces (and they have been many), Philip remains steadfast, and quickly adapts to overcome problems and move forward.Philip and his team were instrumental in eradicating a most destructive form of slavery: the trafficking and exploitation of Nepali children into Indian circuses, where they experienced severe sexual and physical abuse."

"I have been working with Philip since 2018. Hearing his story was very inspiring and as an organisation we are always on the lookout for people who resonate with what we do and are exceptional in what they do. It's a joy to work with Philip and feel his passion for all that he has involved us in over the years. He has always delivered everything and more in what we have needed in terms of transparency which has come in many forms from videos, to images through to actual purchase receipts.. All this has given me great confidence to involve more of our supporters’ funds to be managed by Philip."

"Inspiring to see such passion"

Gemma Mcgough

Chairman of the McGough Charitable Foundation

"Philip is well connected, a great-idea guy, and super high-energy. If you want support for development project in Nepal, I can’t imagine anyone better to support you. I felt a little bit frustrated by my interactions with some larger charities, having that sense that donations were really just a drop in the ocean and we were looking for the opportunity to fund something more specific so that we would now exactly where the money was going and the impact it was having. Philip has been really great in helping me to realise this objective."

"Outstanding transparency"
