Kamikaze Run · 30 May 2010

The Object for which the foundation is established is the relief of poverty, distress and the advancement of education amongst orphans and abandoned children in Africa, especially in Nigeria.

Story

My personal fund raising target is £2,000.00 but collectively GAAP's trustees, members and volunteers have raised £3,783.00 excluding gift aid, but we still need your help to hit our £10k overall target so please continue to give.


GAAP In Action

6 of us travelled to Nigeria in April and July 2010 to see the challenges 7 orphanages caring for around 350 abandoned, orphaned and disabled children face; and more importantly to see how we can provide effective direct aid with zero financial wastage.

 

Why GAAP Is Fundraising

Project 1 HELP FUNMI APPEAL: Target £5,000

Funmi has been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and a reduced brain. She cannot be cured but her doctor told GAAP that we can help improve her quality of life with a good care plan involving nutritional suppliments and professional medical care. GAAP revisited the home in July 2010 and delivered a large quantity of Complan plus non-precription medicines that are in short supply.

Project 2 WATER BORE HOLE APPEAL: Target £5,000

We are nearly there! GAAP commissioned the bore hole in June 2010. Workers penetrated 5 core layers beneath the home, eventually reaching water at approximately 45 meters. A sample has been sent to the laboratory for purity testing. Plumbing and electrical work is underway which will eventually supply the orphanage with running water for the 1st time in its history.

 

In addition GAAP installed two massive water tanks capable of storing 8,000 litres of water. GAAP is working in partnership with the Ogun State Government with regards to providing ongoing assistance at this and other homes in the future.

 

We have much more work to do in Africa including providing a school teacher at Funmi's home which is why we urge you to give to support our work.
