Stand by Me (previously Kids Alive) is caring for over 3000 children in some of the world’s poorest countries. Through our children’s homes, schools and care centres we transform the lives of some of the world’s most vulnerable children, by providing them with care that meets their individual needs.

Story

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

In January 2011 Richard, Monty and Edwin (aka the Auld Nutters) are attempting to summit Aconcagua, the highest peak outside Asia at 6,962m.  In doing so we want to raise awareness and finances for some of the poorest children in the world specifically in Ethiopia and India.  It's amazing how much can done with money in these countries ...

£15 will sponsor a child for an entire month

£10 will buy clothing for 10 children

£20 will enable a child to have HIV treatment

Take a look at the following links for more information:

Ethiopia - www.kidsaliveuk.org

India - www.dalitnetwork.org

Our expedition is fully funded by ourselves so everything that is donated will go to children via the charities mentioned.  Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate.
