Retrak

Charity Registration No. 1122799

Our Vision:

To see street children realise their potential and discover their worth.

Our Mission Statement:

Through its work Retrak will enable street children in Africa to have a real alternative to life on the street. (Retrak currently has projects in Uganda, Ethiopia and Kenya).

Retrak believes that every child is a unique and valuable gift, and that safe family is the preferred environment for a child to grow up and develop. We believe that the community has a vital role to play in the protection and development of the life of its children.

Retrak’s services for street children include:

o Healthcare, refuge, education, employment opportunities and sports.

o Long term care as they rediscover their identity and purpose.

o Foster care placements and/or resettlement to their family/community of origin.

o Supporting the transition into a self sustaining community life.

o A voice that speaks on their behalf.

My story

Hi everyone,

Late as usual, but I've got a number, so will give it a go. This time, I thought running for a good cause might help me shed a few minutes! Will be thinking of all of you and the kids on the receiving end as I cross the finish. Do not yet have a running photo - will send one after the 25th. Remember, each donation is a great motivator!

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: RETRAK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
