My story

 

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

It is that 'time of year' again. How about a 'win,win and win' present for your friends and family. You 'win' by giving an extra special present that benefits others far beyond Christmas, your family and friends 'win' by receiving something very special, and the kids and families in Burundi 'win' by receiving a gift that will literally change their lives. For some it will be the difference between life and death. WOW! What a present!

Examples of what your donation will provide: £180 a cow, £19 a goat, £55 a years schooling, £45 for a bicycle, £9 for a pair of shoes, £30 for a door for the medical centre (lots of building needed to complete this). All this and more. You can also give to the general funds, so we can meet needs as they arise.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Great Lakes Outreach gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please donate here now!
