This year, I have participated in the Great Manchester 10K run to do something extra special for indigent, homeless, orphaned and deprived children in partnership with the Innercity Mission for Children on the End Child Poverty Campaign.

One third of deaths per year, most of them women and children, are due to preventable and poverty-related causes; such as hunger and poor health.

According to UNICEF reports, it is estimated that there are between 143 million – 210 million orphans worldwide. Some are fortunate enough to find placement in orphanages but many of these orphanages and related institutions are over-populated and struggle to meet the individual needs of these children thus making them vulnerable.

For these children living in the Innercities, everyday is another struggle to survive, full of pains, insecurities, pangs of hunger and strive with uncertainties of a bleak future.

If nobody does anything indeed nothing will change. The change we want to see cannot be a wish. It requires an action doing something today to impact other lives permanently.

I will like you to join me in fundraising as together we take the challenge of indigent children all over world in partnership with the InnerCity Mission for Children to take homeless children off the street, improve the quality of living as well as life expectancy, provide essential food supplies and education saving lives one indigent child at a time.
