AbleChildAfrica

Charity Registration No. 326859

AbleChildAfrica exists to improve the lives of the estimated 50m children and young people who are living with disability in Africa. We do this by supporting partner organisations to carry out life changing work with them. We think disabled children and disabled young people should be allowed to decide what changes they would like to see, so we make sure that the organisations which we work with actively involve disabled children and young people in their decision making. We have been working in East Africa for the past twenty years and during that time have affected the lives of over 250,000 disabled children and young people. We are currently working in Uganda and Kenya and hope to expand our work to other African countries in the future. The programmes we run include rehabilitative healthcare, inclusive education, parents support groups, children's after school clubs and campaigning work which seeks the full inclusion of disabled children and disabled young people in policy and practice everywhere we work.

My story

JO AND EMILY RAN THE LONDON MARATHON!

This year, we thought we'd break well and truly out of our comfort zones and draw on every last drop of Haygarth energy to take on the challenge of the London Marathon!

It was something neither of us had done before and we pushed ourselves to the limit both mentally and physically.

To spur us on, we have been raising money for a small charity called www.AbleChildAfrica.org.uk - they do some fantastic work championing the rights of disabled children.

So please dig deep and give what you can. We've done the hard bit .... and lived to tell the tale ; )

Many thanks in advance,

Lots of love Jo and Em xx
