Shooting Star Chase and The Sebastian Hunter Memorial Trust

The Sebastian Hunter Memorial Trust works with some of the poorest communities across South India to eradicate the poverty that affects so many in this country, by empowering young people with education, healthcare and livelihood opportunities on community projects that are truly sustainable. Through our projects, we reach out to those in the tribal hill regions - in centres and rural villages affected by disease, disability, and drought - to empower leaders, build the skills of the next generation, and works towards a poverty-free India.

Over the years, we have been joined in the realisation of our vision by volunteers and partners from across the world, who have helped us build 13 projects in these areas, reaching out to over 5000 people. Amongst these, we work with organisations, such as the Karigiri Leprosy Hospital, helping those affected by this disease to rebuild their lives, MBKG Pannai Orphanage Home, tribal schools in the most remote regions of the Eastern Ghats, and rural schools across the Tamil Nadu region. The charity was set up in 2001 by owner of Belgravia Gallery, Anna Hunter and her family in memory of Anna's son, Sebastian.
