The funds you raise during your sponsored challenge will reduce school absence and improve long-term outcomes for children, leading to better opportunities for a future free from poverty. Donations from your supporters make a big collective difference:
£12 provides a girl in Tanzania with reusable sanitary towels and access to social education forums so she won't miss one week in four of her schooling;
£20 covers the cost of a care pack for an orphaned family in Zimbabwe so they children concentrate on learning rather than working;
£90 pays for a mug of porridge for 1,000 children in Kenya, reducing the need for working, scavenging or begging for food;
£250 supports a social worker in Uganda, to resettle a child rescued from the streets with a family.
PLUS you can cross this once-in-a-lifetime adventure off your bucket list.
