Help a Poor Child (HAPC) was founded in 1980 by the UK Head of Testing Practice, Derrick Pereira.
When visiting India, Derrick was presented with a challenge by an Indian nun, Mother Colombiere, of "doing something for the poor". He returned to the UK, fired-up by the challenge, and set-up Help a Poor Child.
Most of the children HAPC works with are deprived to an unimaginable degree. There is no education, little food, endemic diseases, high levels of disability, parental rejection, working from as early as five years old or begging/scavenging for survival. There is no help for them and no hope either, as children's affairs have no priority.
Help a Poor Child is a registered charity, number 1003359

One of the most notable aspects of Prolifics Testing's support is their hands-on involvement in HAPC's initiatives. Beyond monetary contributions, staff members volunteer their time to pack boxes with essential materials donated for shipment to the HAPC school in The Gambia. This direct involvement underlines their dedication to not only raising funds but also ensuring that these resources reach those in need efficiently and effectively.

Through their ongoing support for HAPC, Prolifics Testing has set a commendable example for other organisations, demonstrating that corporate success and social responsibility are not mutually exclusive. Instead, they can work hand in hand to create a more equitable and compassionate world.
As Prolifics Testing continues to lend its support to HAPC and similar causes, they reinforce the notion that true success is measured not only in financial gains but also in the positive impact made on the lives of others. Their dedication serves as an inspiration to us all, reminding us of the meaningful difference that can be made when individuals and businesses unite for a common good.
