Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

In November 2014 we will be heading to Africa for one week to build a home for a family in need, as part of a team of 18 colleagues.

Having a safe, decent place to live really does help to break the poverty cycle. For example, children with a safe place to live are more likely to get an education and their parents or carers more likely to be able to work and earn a decent living, free from the pressures of poverty housing and the poor health that is often associated with it.

Building homes in Africa is part of a wider project often working with orphans and vulnerable groups whose lives have been blighted by the AIDS pandemic which has swept across sub-Saharan Africa. It is the charity's mission to give as many people as possible a safe and decent place to live.

We will be doing various sponsored challenges over the next 12 months to raise money for this great cause.... so watch this space!
