Charities that Alexandra's Ted Ted books have supported:
Ted Ted and the Dhobi Ghats was published to support the charity DoorStep School, a charity in India that provides education and support to the often forgotten children of pavement dwellers, slum dwellers, construction site families and many other underprivileged families. This organisation attempts to help these children by bringing 'an education to their doorstep'. For example, by creating classrooms in buses or in temporary shacks on construction sites.
The charity now helps over 50,000 children annually with literacy programs at more than 125 locations in both Mumbai and Pune. From the sales of the book Alexandra was able to donate £6,000 to DoorStep School.
Ted Ted, Trouble in Tokyo was published to support a Malaysian charity called Dignity & Services which aims to raise awareness of the plight of children and young people with learning disabilities particularly Autism and Down's Syndrome.
The charity aims to help create a society in which persons in Malaysia with learning disabilities enjoy dignity and respect, equal rights and opportunities to lead an independent and meaningful life within the community. From the sale of the book Alexandra was able to donate £2,000 to Dignity & Services.
