Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>In February 2012 Jon and Wendy will be flying out to Tanzania for 12 days; 8 of which will be spent climbing up Mt. Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Route. We will also be spending some time at the Amani Children's Home in Moshi, nestled in the foothills of Kilimanjaro; an amazing home for street children and AIDS orphans - you can read more at <a href="http://www.amanikids.org/"><span style="color: #3b5998;">www.amanikids.org</span></a> Unlike so many charity challenges, we have funded the entire trip ourselves so that every penny we raise goes exactly where it is supposed to - TO THE CHILDREN.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The problem of homeless children in Tanzania is growing daily due to one of the world's poorest economies, HIV/AIDS and weakening family ties. While trying to survive on the streets, children regularly face hunger, sickness and abuse. Without someone to rescue them, they have no hope for the future. Since 2001 Amani Children's Home has been committed to rescuing street children and orphans and providing a nurturing place for them to heal, grow and learn.The aim is to reunite children with their relatives when possible and create a path for each child that leads to a future filled with hope.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>So please dig deep and help us support this incredible cause.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Jon &amp; Wendy x</p>
