Saïd Foundation : What we do



The Saïd Foundation works in the United Kingdom and the Middle East. In the UK it assists the Saïd Business School at Oxford University in its pursuit of excellence whilst in the Middle East it seeks to improve the lives of disadvantaged children and young people in its priority countries of Syria, Palestine, Jordan and Lebanon. The Foundation pursues its objectives through three programmes.
The Further Education Programme provides financial support for young people from the target countries who demonstrate particular potential to pursue further education so that they can expand their skills and knowledge in relevant fields and thereby enhance their contribution to the development of the region.	The Child Development Programme supports the most disadvantaged children living in Syria, Palestine, Jordan and Lebanon in the fields of education and disability.	The Said Business School Programme makes grants to the Said Business School Foundation for its Strategic Development Fund and other purposes with a view to establishing and maintaining the School as one of the world’s most influential business schools.
