The Prax Group is the main donor to the Foundation. The charity is run on a zero-cost basis, with every dollar that the Group donates going directly to Roots.


Hostels

At present, there are Roots donation boxes in all Harvest Energy filling stations in the United Kingdom. The Prax Group also organizes several fundraising events throughout the year. Historically every Christmas, the teams in the Group’s offices around the world get together to wrap up gifts, which are then sent to Sri Lanka and given to every girl.


Future Initiatives

In 2019, a steering Committee was established to consider the expansion of the Foundation’s projects to other parts of the world (with a particular focus on Africa) and to make the charity more international.
