Story
Yes, yes - I'm a sucker for punishment! My takkies are back on my feet and I'll be plodding around the Royal Parks yet again but for a very worthwhile cause which is close to my heart (and hopefully yours). Through Starfish, we can help the children in South Africa who most need it.
Your sponsorship will help fund the Wellness Wagon, a mobile testing clinic providing healthcare to children in rural communities. The Wagon nurse tests kids for malnutirition, TB and HIV, checks immunisations and growth indicators and provides treatment and follow up visits to monitor children's progress.
£5.50 pays for a head to toe health check-up, follow up treatment and care from the Wellness Wagon nurse
£40 can send a child back to school by providing them with a uniform, school shoes, books and stationery
£100 can provide equipment for a crèche for 50 kids - Starfish funds crèches so that the older children of child-headed families can go to school knowing their younger siblings are safe and cared for
