Dear All,
Later on in March this year, I will climb Mount Kilimanjaro on behalf of One to One Children's Fund. Please sponsor my climb as you will be supporting a worthy cause. I personally chose this charity as I feel that the work they do is vital to the survival and welfare of children from different communities around the world. Having worked with children from London and the impoverished neighbourhoods of Delhi, India, I can think of no better cause than helping these children overcome the difficulties that life had thrown at them, and that we are fortunate not to face.
One to One Children’s Fund works at a grassroots level, in partnership with local communities, professional services and volunteers- to create programmes that empower local people, contribute to long term sustainability and introduce new ways of improving the welfare of children and families.
One to One Children’s Fund is the co-founder and primary funder of PATA, an umbrella organization of 86 clinics throughout that works collaboratively with multidisciplinary healthcare teams of nurses, pharmacists, counsellors and doctors, to help achieve their goals of providing better care to more and more children. PATA promotes learning through team work, sharing of experiences and spreading of good practice to clinics across the continent.
PATA affiliated clinics care for more than 25% of all children receiving Anti Retroviral treatment in today, and is working towards helping all HIV infected and affected children and young people to have access to the comprehensive health and social services they need by 2015.
In its relatively short history, One to One Children’s Fund has also gained an international reputation for spearheading ground-breaking projects not only in but also in other parts of the world. One to One Children’s Fund provides counselling for children and families in the region of Peja and Prizren through two family therapy centres and organises training courses for psychosocial counsellors in Kosovo. The Charity also implements reconciliation and trauma healing programs in schools in and , as well as post-tsunami rehabilitation activities for children in .
