C KAVITAOBEROI is a 38-year-old IT millionaire whose sole interest in life, apart from her
family, was making money. Her views completely changed when she went to a centre for
disadvantaged girls in Manchester. She used to believe that people were poor because they
didn’t try to improve their lives. When she got involved with the girls’ centre, she realised that
people often need help and support to do their best. She realised that her own mother had
sacrificed a lot so that Kavitacould have a good education. Kavita became a director of the group
and is helping it to go national to support more young women.
D JAMES BENAMORE, atough financial dealer now worth £77 million, used to have a drug
problem himself. He waved goodbye to his wife and children and went to a crime-ridden area of
Manchester. He worked in a centre for teenagers who were excluded from mainstream
education and found that they had no confidence in themselves, nor any belief that any effort
they made would make any difference. James donated money to the centre so that children who
worked hard-earned rewards in the form of trips and outings. He also offered some teenagers a
month’s work experience at his company. He was delighted to see how their attitudes changed
and have set up the scheme permanently.
