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

Hello everyone,

Nick, Robbie and Jonny are paddling in a canoe from Reading to Teddington on the 2nd and 3rd of May 2009, we are doing this in memory of Nick's cousin Talli, who was tragically killed in a car accident in November 2006. We feel that it is a great way to celebrate the life of such a talented and wonderful person, and we would like to donate all the money raised through 'justgiving' to Talli's favourite charity - Afrikids.
Talli was passionate about giving to those less fortunate than herself and we feel that through raising money for afrikids, we can commemorate her fantastic, yet all too short life.
Donations of any size are welcome, and we are hugely grateful to anyone who is willing to help us remember such a wonderful person.
We would like to thank everyone for their love and support in helping us do this, and we hope we can raise a substantial amount of money for Talli's charity of choice.

Thanks to everyone, and please remember to keep Talli, and all her family and friends in your prayers.

Nick, Robbie and Jonny xxx
