Hi, Nick (Indigo Traveller) here. Thank you for watching my video from the biggest slum in Nigeria - Makoko and taking an interest in helping the orphans.

Every day, many children roam the canals of Makoko Slum alone without the certainty of where they will sleep or even where their next meal will come from.

Our first goal was reached in under 6 hours - Thank you to everyone who has donated, your support is unbelievable! We have now increased our initial goal to £50,000. This way we can help more children for longer.

Our plan with the funds raised:

1. Build the orphanage that will accommodate and change the lives of at least 50-60 vulnerable orphaned children. The building cost covers the materials (special wood to avoid rotting, bolts, roofing metals etc.) and the carpenter's labour fee. Costing roughly $14,000 USD.

2. Food and clean drinking water for the orphans on a daily basis (just $2 USD buys a child two wholesome meals per day).

3. School fees costing $65 USD per year per child. This will point the child's life in a positive direction. As you saw in the video, the young boy, Segun, deeply desires an education to better his life and prospects after losing both his parents to disease.

Every single dollar raised will make a huge difference to the orphans of Makoko Slum. I personally will be keeping track of the money spent and will be in close contact with the project for the foreseeable future. Thank you for your support and kindness. Nick

You can help out now – just $10 buys a child 10 meals and contributes to a safe place the kids can call home!
