Story

This charity is doing some excellent work educating children who have suffered from extreme oppression based on their caste. The charity has established links with Lampton and I was lucky enough to visit the school in the summer of 2013 to see how the money will help sponsor the children's education. They really need all the help that they can get and having an education provides the students with a route out of extreme poverty. The students remain incredibly positive despite having to live on cold hard floors, away from their family and often leaving their parents as young as three. Please dig deep as we want to sponsor as many children as possible so that they achieve a good education.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
