My story

 

Bring Points of Light to orphaned children in their darkest times

In Zambia, HIV and AIDS has robbed over 700,000 children of their parents. Alone, in poverty and lacking an education, every day is a struggle to earn a little money for food. Sadly, they all too often lose.

In this devastating landscape of pain, hunger, disease and poverty, Crusaid’s Points of Light projects are beacons of hope.

Each project offers children affected by HIV and AIDS a safe place to go, where they can get the food and support they need to survive. Our specially trained carers also provide educational support, bereavement counselling, teach them vital life skills and ensure they always have someone to turn to during their darkest times. Last year, the Wig Party committee raised nearly £40,000 and we have already identified and begun work on a new Point of Light in Zambia.

This year, we aim to build on last year's total and take the amount we have raised for the Points of Light Campaign to £90,000. Together, we can save the lives of children affected by HIV and AIDS – and change their futures for the better.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to lend your support. Crusaid 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.

Your gift will help Wig Party & Crusaid set up another Point of Light in Zambia, for children in desperate need.

Many thanks for your support.
