Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have been selected as part of a team of 12 employees from GMFRS and GMP who are going to Ethiopia in November to work with Retrak  to offer support for vulnerable children living on the streets.

Retrak is a UK based charity that works with street children in Africa to give them a real alternative to life on the street. There are numerous reasons why children live and sleep on the streets such as poverty; family strife; abuse; being orphaned, often as a result of HIV/AIDS; war and famine. Often abused or violated on the street, regarded as barely human and on the very fringe of society, begging or scavenging through rubbish for food. Our aim is that these children can realise their full potential.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
