The Christian Blandford Fund (UK, 1139614) Browse events
YTD Raised: n/aThe aim of the Christian Blandford fund is to improve the comfort of children and their families, particularly those affected by cancer, during prolonged stays in local NHS hospitals. This is how the lovely people at Post Pals described us “they realised a lot of people support the main children’s or cancer hospitals yet the local hospitals which children spend a lot of time in with infections or for transfusions rarely get support. They decided instead of fundraising for huge items they instead would do the little things others don’t think of, like buying decent curtains for the children’s ward so the kids no longer wake up at sunrise in the summer – a truly wonderful charity working away quietly at improving families quality of life.”
Karuri School Project Trust
(UK, 1139387) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00The Karuri School in Kenya opened in January 2011 and currently has about 120 pupils, around 40 of whom are boarders, by virtue of being orphaned or vulnerable. The long term aim is to accommodate 240 children. It is the dream of one remarkable woman, Wangari Cecilia, and is supported by a small group of dedicated, unpaid, volunteers based in Northampton. The Charity pays for the needs of these children, including food, medical costs and the salaries of local teachers. The School now has classrooms, dormitories and kitchen, washing and toilet facilities. Basic electricity has been installed. But there is still much work to be done including: more classrooms, staff living accomodation, better sanitation and water harvesting. The charity is working to raise money for these essential improvements. The Hebe Holmes Memorial Fund exists solely to raise money for the Karuri Project and welcomes your support. Hebe Holmes died in 2012 aged 16. She would have been proud, delighted and amazed that her name and her memory were benefiting children who deserve the opportunity to make their mark in the World. For further information about Karuri School, please click on the blue web-link "Visit our website" under Charity details. How to help? Please consider sponsorship. £35 will pay for one child's education and upkeep for one month. But any amount from £2 a month upwards would be very welcome. You can make a monthly donation using the button under "Support us". Thank you.
Killearn Malawi Group (UK, SC043555) Browse events
YTD Raised: n/aThe Killearn Malawi Group is a small fundraising charity which aims to promote education and health in Malawi. Our fundraising is on-going through jumble sales, events and donations. Our projects are many and varied. We have funded the building of the Jamieson House which is accommodation in Mzuzu to be used by visiting volunteers, and the women's craft centre at Hilltop where women come to learn knitting and other craft skills, as well as computing, to enable them to support themselves and their families. Currently we are funding the repair of wells, the buying of bullocks, the construction of a new bridge and the addition of a store room and toilets at the Hilltop Nursery School. Most of these activities take place in the North of Malawi and through our main contacts there, the Reverend Levi Nyondo and his wife Ruth. We also collaborate with the Raven Trust. However this year we have also managed to fund the digging of a borehole in the very south of Malawi in Muyang'anira, near Nsanje. One of our committee members has worked there and is in regular contact with families who live there. The importance of access to clean water cannot be underestimated. It helps to reduce disease. The burden of collecting water often falls on the shoulders of young girls who consequently cannot attend school. This area is one of the poorest in Malawi and has recently suffered devastating floods.
