About Us
RACET, a UK charity registered with The Charity Commission (no 1127759), was started by Mrs. Elizabeth Clifford who was moved to help these children when she heard about the many difficulties they face to attend secondary school in this remote area of Nigeria. It is run by trustees who volunteer their time for RACET and cover all of its administrative costs. All sponsorships and donations go directly towards the education and well being of RACET students in Nigeria and do not go through any other agencies or organisations. The financial accounts are prepared each year by Clarkson Hyde Chartered Accountants.
