Virgin London Marathon 2015 · 26 April 2015 ·

Children4ChildrenNepal (C4CN) was founded in 2012 to work with local partners in Nepal to combat trafficking and assist vulnerable and disadvantaged children. Originally called Freedom Matters, in the last 7 years we have: worked with partners combating trafficking and assisting those affected by it; delivered immediate earthquake relief and provided counselling and support to families and communities following its devastating effects. C4CN works in Nepal with a local partner, Right 4 Children, a Nepalese charity based in Pokhara, working on projects with the most vulnerable sections of society. These projects are providing training in the service industries and helping youths find jobs to support themselves and their families. We are also working with the Nepalese Government in schools to help improve the experience of school life through sports, arts drama and other projects. We are a small, cost-effective NGO managed by trustees who strongly believe that providing improved education and training opportunities for underprivileged children, young people, families and communities, helps to contribute to a safer environment, which is free from child labour, abuse and trafficking.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Against my better judgement I'll be running the London Marathon for the third time on 26th April 2015 at the grand old age of 55. I am doing so to raise a fighting fund that will allow Freedom Matters to continue its vital work on behalf of Nepal's abused and exploited children. We have lots to do next year as we continue to rescue, protect, rehabilitate and reintegrate children for whom we are their only hope. This run will be very special as, thanks to matching pledges from two UK Foundations, every pound that I receive in sponsorship will be matched up to a ceiling of £9,000. So if I hit this target it will automatically double up to £18,000! I have nearly reached this milestone towards an overall fundraising target of £20,000.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure and you can do so in any major currency. 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 Freedom Matters. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Very many thanks

Philip
