Raising money for

Edith's Home

Charity Registration No. 1100602

Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute’ Proverbs 31:8

The Edith's Home Project works with total HIV/AIDS orphans in the community of Ngora, a small town in the Teso region of Uganda.

Because of very limited resources, these children are put to the "bottom of the pile" in an already strained family situation. Edith's Home provide sponsorship of school fees and vocational training for orphans and support them psychologically and spiritually. More recently we have set up micro enterprise initiatives to help sustain the project: food storage, farming, business loan schemes and office services. The project began in 2004 and at present supports over 100 orphans within their extended family context.

My story

So the four of us are running the Great South Run on Sunday 25th October and three of us are doing it in outfits. I'm doing it in a wedding dress, Tim is doing it in a Minnie Mouse outfit, Simon in a Mickey Mouse outfit and Charlie we're still working on.

We're raising money for Edith's Home which is a charity teaching HIV/AIDS orphans in Uganda vocational skills and putting them through school. At the minute they are supporting over 100 orphans having only been a charity since 2004. They are always looking to support more orphans but can only do this with more donations.

Edith's Home have a sponsorship scheme in which an individual or family can sponsor a child through school and will receive regular updates from the orphan they are sponsoring. If you would like to do this or to know more about the charity the website is: www.edithshome.com
