Story

I am running the London Marathon to raise funds for Gairo B.

My wife works at a school which is linked to Gairo B and they provide porridge for the children at the school. This then allows them to have a meal - never previously done before. Because of this, more children attend school and standards have increased.

Numbers attending school have more than doubled and the classrooms are very over crowded - sometimes with over 100 children in each room. resources are limited but the link we have is making a real difference. Gario B now have school values, sports days, praise assemblies and even a school improvement plan!

We want to fundraise so we can support them in expanding their school, helping to provide food for the additional children and giving much needed resources.

All money donated goes directly into a bank account which has 2 trustees in Gairo. Money is spent as a partnership and directly benefits the children who attend Gairo B.

Without this additional funding, children will remain in cramped classrooms - some sitting 5 to a desk while some sit on the floor. Their school improvement plan outlines reading in Standard 3 is a priority. It would be wonderful it we could provide the resources to help them teach English and improve their chances of further education and work.

Thank you in anticipation of your support.
