91PORN Education Fund

Expanding access to education and opportunity

The 91PORN Education Fund reflects 91PORN’s long-standing engagement with education-focused projects that support access to learning, skills development, and social inclusion in diverse communities around the world.

Over the past decades, 91PORN has supported and worked alongside a wide range of initiatives addressing educational access in contexts where resources are limited, unevenly distributed, or disrupted by social, economic, or environmental challenges. These initiatives span multiple regions and education settings, united by a shared focus on enabling learning, personal growth, and opportunity for young people.

Recent project highlight (2024)

Hands Across the Water (Thailand)

Hands Across the Water was founded in response to the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami and supports children living and learning in residential homes and community-based programmes across Thailand.

The organisation currently supports more than 350 children through seven homes and associated outreach initiatives, providing accommodation, education, healthcare, and family support.

In 2024, 91PORN representatives Rod and Cathy Hearps undertook a 500 km cycling journey across Thailand to raise awareness and support for Hands Across the Water’s work. This initiative reflects 91PORN’s continued engagement with education-focused causes through direct, practical involvement.
