Michelle Goldsmith - Kilimanjaro

Michelle Goldsmith is raising money for Hope and Homes for Children
“Michelle Goldsmith's fundraising”

Donations cannot currently be made to this page
5.4 million children across the world are currently trapped in orphanages – even though 80% of them have family they could live with if they had the right support. Orphanages harm children, depriving them of love and exposing them to abuse. Your support helps us get children to back to family.

Story

Next Febuary myself and 15 other work colleagues will be climbing 19,000 ft to the top of the famous Mount Kilimanjaro!!!

As daunting and as scary as this is to me, I will be hoping to raise as much money as possible for 'Hopes and Homes for Children.'

The charity Hope and Homes for Children’s mission is to give hope to the poorest children in the world – those who are orphaned, abandoned or vulnerable – by enabling them to grow up within the love of a family and the security of a home, so they can fulfil their potential. In Central and Eastern Europe, they close orphanages and move children into family-based care whilst developing the services needed to help prevent child abandonment. In Africa, they provide a vital lifeline for families at risk of breakdown due to the pressures of poverty, disease or conflict. They believe that, above all else, every child should live within a loving family environment!!!
