Paige Ingledow is raising money for Future for Iringa Street Children
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Forest of Dean Autumn Half Marathon · 28 September 2025

Providing the street children of Iringa, Tanzania, with a hope and a future. We aim to support these vulnerable children living in desperate circumstances by providing food, shelter and education, and moral awareness within a Christian context. For many of these children, the regular support of food and input from our staff at FISCH centre, becomes the only constant they can rely on in an otherwise very fragile existence. Our long term aim is for the street children to become self-sufficient, balanced, well rounded and valuable members of the community. FISCH stands for Future for Iringa Street Children. We were founded in 2007, and became a Trust in Charity in the UK in 2016. Our ground activities, achieved by FISCH Trust in Tanzania, are holistic - they target physical, social and spiritual needs which include food, shelter within a family environment, education, moral awareness and children having the opportunity to hear about God and the love of Jesus. Our long term aim is for the street children to become self-sufficient, balanced, well rounded and valuable members of the community. We hope that by our actions and presence in the community we might prevent children turning to the streets in the first place. We have seen many children turn their lives around. Many have been re-united with families and relatives

Story

Thanks for checking in!

I am raising funds for a charity close to my heart - Future for Iringa Street Children, FISCH, a project which I have been involved with for over 15 years. FISCH gives the Street Children a hope and a future, by providing food, shelter, education, healthcare and spiritual care.

It costs 30p to provide a school lunch for a child in Tanzania - that means ten lunches for £3. Or 100 lunches for £30. ALL your money goes directly to the Children who need it.

Many of the FISCH Kids are supported through their primary and secondary school education by the charity in many ways (provision of equipment, school uniforms, payment of fees), but many of these Children do not have a lunch during the school day, because they cannot afford it. So, it is my honour to run this half marathon to raise funds for the School Lunch Project, helping our Kids to achieve their very best in school, and maximising their opportunity to improve their situation in life.

"I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10

Thanks! I appreciate every 30p donated!
