Rett Syndrome Research Trust and the CEW Foundation to receive sizeable donations

Tax Free World Association’s charitable organisation TFWA Care is to donate €30,000 ($44,000) to the Rett Syndrome Research Trust and €60,000 ($88,000) to the CEW Foundation following a TFWA management committee vote on December 18. The donations are seen as a first step in a mid-term commitment to both causes.

A €20,000 ($29,380) donation was also made in October to The Smile Train, which provides free cleft lip and palate surgery for children in developing countries and cleft-related training for doctors and medical professionals. The TFWA Care board has also allocated funds to meet ad hoc requests.
