Story
I will be joining supporters across the UK who are undertaking to walk 15 miles to raise money for Kisumu Children Trust. This is the average distance the children supported by the charity walk to and from school each week! The money raised will buy food and clothes for 10 very poor children in Kenya.
Kisumu Children Trust supports the Cherry Brierley Children's Home which cares for 72 children from impoverished backgrounds. The children have lost one or both parents and the home provides a safe, simple home with clean water, good diet, clothes and medical care, within a loving Christian family environment. All children receive primary education and the opportunity to go on to secondary education, apprenticeships, vocational training, college or university as they have the ability.
The charity is now looking to support more children from the surrounding community, among whom are the 10 children being supported by this event.
