Natasha Hurley is raising money for Project Harar

Nightrider · 9 June 2012 ·

Project Harar provides access to treatment, rehabilitation, and reintegration services in Ethiopia for children and young people with clefts and more complex facial disfigurements. We do this because these children and young people are at risk of stunting, malnutrition, and social exclusion.

Story

Project Harar is a dedicated charity that helps rural children with severe facial disabilities access medical care. It's run by my good friend Tom Hoyle, whom I've known for nearly a decade, so I know that the money I raise will be put to excellent use - I'll certainly be holding him accountable :)


Project Harar work with children from the most isolated areas of eastern Ethiopia, who can’t afford to travel long distances to hospital. Without treatment, children have difficulty eating and speaking, and are often bullied by their communities.

Only half of children with cleft lips are able to go to school. Just £250 can pay for the child to reach hospital where they can have treatment helping them to eat, speak and smile again.

You can read previous success stories here, and watch a video of Zahir here, a young child who received treatment for noma, a devastating facial infection.

I’m trying to raise enough money for 2 little kids to get to hospital. Even a small donation would make a big difference and help speed me on my way as I cycle through the night!
