Raising money for

Afrikids

Charity Registration No. 1093624

AfriKids is a grass roots child rights organisation working to improve life for Ghana's most vulnerable and disadvantaged children. Our philosophy is to:

* Listen to what a community knows it needs

* Empower them to make the necessary changes themselves

* Ensure absolute sustainability

Afrikids work ranges from the more traditional children's project including foster homes, schools and street child centres to more groundbreaking initiatives which tackle complex cultural issues including child trafficking, child labour and the spirit child phenomenon. Rather than spreading out work across a continent or focusing on a single 'headline' issue, AfriKids has invested time and resources in making real and fundamental change to the society and economy of one region. By doing this AfriKids has uncovered the extraordinary passion and ability of the local people there and is achieving something unique; genuine sustainability.

My story

We did it!

Race day came, we stepped up to the challege and we all made it round the course in one piece. It wasn't easy but it was a good day. Thanks to everyone that came out to support us on the day and thanks to everyone who's sponsored us so far. We still need your support though, so if you've not done it already, simply follow the links and show your support.

AfriKids currently supports over 100,000 beneficiaries each year across 21 projects. Anything you donate in support of this run will go towards our work enabling local staff to help those in their own communities in northern Ghana. Please spare what you can, and spare a thought for our aching legs!

Thank you,

Andy, Jeegar, Liam, Lissa, Lyndsey, and Sally
