An independent philanthropic network that funds direct, sustainable, locally-sourced projects in the communities that need them most. We have been its principal corporate sponsor since 2022, and have co-funded three of its projects.
TheTen identifies, scopes and delivers each project through its own partners on the ground. Lakemore Partners provides funding and corporate sponsorship, and does not operate the projects itself.
Of the eight projects TheTen has completed since 2019, we have co-funded three. The remaining five were funded through TheTen's wider network.
Lakemore co-funded TheTen's purchase of a PatDrill machine for Al-Noor Charitable Agency, which operates it. It created a self-sustaining cycle of water access and charitable income, and is expected to reach over 100,000 people across rural Zanzibar.
Lakemore and TheTen co-funded the Ranipura 2 reservoir within a reforestation programme across 125 sq km of degraded land. It holds 34,000 m³ of water, with 5,000 trees to follow.
Four school libraries, teacher training, classroom renovation and 40,000 English books across more than eighty schools. Nine in ten classrooms have no books, and barely one in ten children can read a simple text by age ten.
Founded in May 2019, TheTen has delivered projects across five countries — from its first school computer centre in Sri Lanka, to a water well and drilling machine in Zanzibar, reforestation in India, a science laboratory in Ethiopia, and the English literacy programme now underway across Tanzania. It works to three principles: direct — funding reaches the project itself, without intermediation; sustainable — assets that keep working long after the funding round closes; at source — sourced and delivered locally, alongside partners on the ground.
Bouncing Books is underway and will run through 2027. Lakemore and TheTen are actively scoping the next project, with the same principle that has guided all eight to date: direct funding, sourced locally, with a measurable result on the ground.
Lakemore Partners' philanthropic activity is funded by the firm and its principals. It does not form part of any investment mandate, no client or investor capital is used, and nothing on this page constitutes an offer, a solicitation, or a representation regarding any strategy managed by Lakemore Partners or its subsidiaries. TheTen is an independent organisation; Lakemore Partners provides funding and corporate sponsorship and does not operate, control or direct its projects. Figures describing project reach are provided by TheTen and its delivery partners.
