On Fri 9 September 20 cyclists from PA Consulting's Government Practice will be riding the 240 miles from London to Paris in just over 24 cycling hrs.
We are raising money for the Starfish Greathearts Foundation, who works with Community Based Organisations in Southern Africa to support children orphaned or made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS.
£3 will feed a child for a month – crisis intervention and providing food parcels to families in need is vitally important to give immediate care.
£6 will buy school shoes for a child.
£20 will provide an emergency medical pack for a caregiver – these care visits ensure that in child headed households the children have everything they need to feed younger siblings, send elder children to school and generally offer care.
£50 will send a child back to school by providing them with a uniform, school shoes, books and stationary – the children that we support need to attend school to escape the cycle of vulnerability and poverty.
£100 will provide equipment for a crèche for 50 children – Starfish funds crèches so that the older children of child headed families can go to school knowing their younger siblings are safe and cared for.
£1000 will provide funds for an Orphaned Vulnerable Child Care coordinator for 6 months at a day centre.
