Restart Africa

Jago, Max and Fred is raising money for The Sanata Charitable Trust - Restart Africa
“Motorbike adventure through Africa”
Restart Africa rescues destitute street children in Gilgil, Kenya. They are orphaned or abandoned, and often the victims of horrible abuse. We give them shelter, care, education and security. We also run projects to help the wider community in Gilgil, providing employment, opportunity and self-respect for local people. Restart now looks after over 100 children, aged from a just few months old, in a new centre (opened in 2014) providing food, shelter, welfare and education. Most of our children have suffered severe, often sexual, abuse and deprivation, all have significant emotional issues. It can take many months of love and care before they get over the hand to mouth existence they were leading on the streets, and are able to enjoy a more settled life in the Restart Centre. The charity supports a number of local initiatives to help employ and hence empower the community. These include a briquette making operation that provides the Centre with all its fuel requirements, and generates some income through local sales; a women’s craft group making bags, shoes and jewellery; our own agricultural plot supplying vegetables to the Centre and the village; an extensive herb garden that produces holistic medicinal treatments. The UK Trust is run by volunteers, so every penny you give goes directly to help the children who need it so much. To learn more about Restart, visit www.restartafrica.org

Story

This year, myself, Fred and Max are taking on an incredible trip through Africa — not just for the adventure, but to make a real difference. Along the way, we’re raising money for Restart Africa, a charity that’s doing life-changing work supporting vulnerable children and young people in Kenya.

Restart Africa provides a safe home, education, and medical care for kids who’ve been abandoned, abused, or left to survive on the streets. Their goal isn’t just to give shelter — it’s to help these children rebuild their lives and create a future they can be proud of.

We’ve been inspired by the team’s commitment and the warmth of the community they’ve built. Every pound raised goes directly toward essentials like food, schooling, healthcare, and long-term rehabilitation for the children in their care.

Our trip is a chance to challenge ourselves physically and mentally — but more importantly, it’s an opportunity to use that journey to do some good.

We’d love your support in helping us reach our fundraising goal. Whether it’s the price of a coffee or something bigger, every donation genuinely makes a difference and helps Restart Africa continue their incredible work.

Asante Sana! ❤️
