Read on to hear about Street Child's story and some exciting donation rewards...

A few years ago, I was lucky enough to visit Kenya - whilst I was there, I met children who had almost nothing, yet were so happy. It made me reflect on things we take for granted - education, safety and opportunity. Things that should be universal, but aren’t

Next month, I’m returning to Africa, this time to Sierra Leone with Virgin Media O2 to support Street Child, a charity dedicated to helping children access education in some of the toughest places in the world

Street Child works closely with local communities to remove the barriers that keep kids out of school, whether that’s the cost of uniforms, the need to work instead of learn, or simply the lack of safe classrooms

Their focus is on creating lasting change and brighter futures, and I’m honoured to play a small part in that
