Story

Hi Guys,

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page, I am running a half marathon in Germany, for a very worthy cause, Save the Children charity for Haiti.  I am sure you will all agree that we were affected by the powerful earthquake that struck Haiti, devastating the capital and affecting around 2 million people.


The Save the Children charity continue our work with children, their families and their communities in Haiti. 

Below are some cost examples of what the money you raise could be spent on in Haiti.
 
·     £3 can buy a blanket to keep a child warm at night who has been made homeless

·       £3 can buy a mosquito net to prevent a child getting malaria – one of the biggest killers of children under five in emergencies

·       £10 can buy plastic sheeting to provide basic emergency shelter to protect families made homeless by the earthquake.

·       £10 can buy 6 buckets to help families get access to water.

·       £12.50 can buy a shelter essentials kit (containing blanket, broom, mat, mosquito net, torch, jerry can, bucket).

·       £15 can buy a hygiene kit with essentials such as soap, detergent, toothpaste, toothbrush.

·       £25 can buy a student kit to help a child continue their education (containing rucksack, crayons, notebooks, lunch box, pencil case, rubber, sharpener, ruler, plastic water bottle).

·       £32 can train up to 10 volunteer community case workers to identify and follow up on cases of children who have been separated from their families.

·       £32 can train up to 10 facilitators to conduct activities with children in child friendly spaces.

·       £35 can buy a shelter repair kit for a family whose home has been damaged by the earthquake.

·       £200 can buy child friendly space kit, which includes all the equipment and tools required (containing many toys, building blocks, crayons, dolls, sports equipment, musical instruments and modelling clay.) to create a child friendly space.

So please dig deep and donate now.
