Footsteps International - Marafun · 12 May 2012 ·

Footsteps transforms the lives of orphans and street children…and much more. Managed by Christians, Footsteps works with trusted partners in Kenya where we run the Sunshine Centre for street boys, Tumaini Children’s Home, and and provide skills training, school fees and school lunch programmes.

Story

We rescue kids off the street and give them a chance. A chance of an education, a loving home, and the chance to make their dreams come true. We have 98 boys at the Sunshine Home - it's a big family to care for and we need your help!

Each boy can tell you a story of how poverty, sickness or family breakdown caused him to run away to the streets to search for a 'better life' but he ended up killing rats for food or eating rubbish from the dump and sniffing glue to drown out their hunger pains. We take them into our Sunshine Home, care for them, educate them, and help them find work.

Great results, but it needs money - and that's where you can really help by sponsoring my 8th marathon on 12th May at the Orpington Marafun (which I organise too, just to make life complex). £25 covers the basic cost for a child for a month.

Please be generous, and remember these kids have NOTHING unless someone takes care of them. Read more on our website .

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
