Raphael Rowe Foundation

What the charity does

We work towards ensuring that basic human rights are being met in prisons across the globe, including access to food, sanitation, healthcare, and education, and we want it to be sustainable. Although this is a monumental task, we remain committed to making a difference, one prison at a time. Our hope is that through our work, we can create a more just and compassionate world for all.
