Hi Everybody, I Liza Tesei, will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, the world’s highest solitary peak (19,340 ft) in an effort to raise £10,000 to save 50,000 children from dying in Africa. Yes honestly !!!
Every year 1.6 million children between the ages of 1-5 die of dehydration caused by DIARRHEA, more than malaria or AIDS. However the good news is that a simple Zinc tablet administered at the first sign of illness could change that according to the World Health Organisation." TIME MAGAZINE (17th August 2009).
FOR EVERY £50 YOU DONATE YOU WILL SAVE 250 CHILDREN’S LIVES !
THE DISEASE: DIARRHEA
THE CURE: 14 DAY ZINC COURSETHE COST: 20 PENCE
THE RESULT: 1 CHILD’S LIFE SAVED
This cause was brought to my attention by my cousin who founded the non-profit organisation Worldwide Helpers (WWH). WWH has started the WWH ZINC CAUSE whose aim is to greatly reduce the number of children that die from this horrific disease every year. 100% of the proceeds raised will go towards purchasing the zinc and delivering it to African villages where it is most needed.
PLEASE BE AS GENEROUS AS YOU CAN. EVERY £1,000 WILL SAVE 5000 CHILDREN.
