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 there,

I'm part of a five man team setting off from Lands End on 21st May to complete the 1000 mile ride to John O'Groats in 10 days. We will ride unsupported and carry all our equipment and clothing that we need for the challenge. Please see the website www.endtoend08.co.uk for more information.

Every penny that I raise will go to the Afrikids charity (see left).

In addition to the money that I raise via this site, my employer Network Rail, will match my fundraising total and donate it to their chosen chairty the NSPCC. So please donate what you can as your charitable giving will be doubled!!

Other members of the team are raising money for their preferred charities and so please visit the website to see if these charities are more appealing to you.

Many thanks

Pete
