Building brighter futures for children in the Pankisi Gorge, Georgia
Who We Are
Founded in memory of BBC journalist Roddy Scott, who lost his life reporting on the Second Chechen War, the Foundation continues his belief that education opens doors to understanding and opportunity.
Today, over 200 students from every village in the valley attend our classes. Many have gone on to university and careers in Georgia and abroad — becoming translators, teachers, journalists, and community leaders.
Your support helps us keep this path open.
Transform a Life.
Empower a Community.
Change the Future.
At the Roddy Scott Foundation (RSF), we believe education is the key to unlocking potential and creating lasting change. For young people in Georgia’s Pankisi Valley, your support gives them the tools they need to break free from stereotypes, access higher education, and build brighter futures.
