Rachael Mccool is raising money for Child's i Foundation
“Rachael McCool's fundraising”

on 24 April 2011

Donations cannot currently be made to this page
We believe in families, not orphanages. We’re helping Uganda reimagine care so that no child anywhere need ever experience an orphanage again. We help repurpose orphanages into services that people really need, keeping families together, reuniting families or finding new ‘forever families’.
