Friends of Double Joy is a grassroots UK charity which raises money for Double Joy Children's Farm, an orphanage in western Kenya. Double Joy is currently home to 100 vulnerable children whose parents were the victims of AIDS and other severe illnesses. Double Joy offers these amazing children a safe, stable and happy home and a good education to help them into adult life. The orphanage needs £8000 a month to survive, with 40% of this coming from regular donations and 60% from fundraising. This year fundraising has been particularly difficult and we really need extra support.

Please join us on Sunday 13th December at 1pm and host your own Christmas Crown Party with members of your household, virtually over skype or with neighbours from afar! We hope to spread some Christmas spirit by making Christmas crowns ready for the 25th, drinking mulled wine or spiced tea, baking and eating mince pies, gingerbread men and yule logs! Please share your pictures on our facebook page: Double Joy Christmas Crown Party!

Please make a small but very much needed donation to Double Joy this Christmas and help look after these vulnerable and wonderful children into the new year and beyond!

All of the money (100%) raised from the Christmas Crown Party will be donated directly to Double Joy to be used to buy food, firewood for cooking and other vital supplies.

Thank you so much for your support. We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year.
