WHY CHOOSE AFRICAN CHILDREN’S FUND?

Just 9p provides a mug of nutritious porridge to a child at school in Kenya, and makes the difference between going to school and working, scavenging or begging on the streets for food. A daily mug of porridge helps children learn better when they’re at school, will keep them safely away from street gangs and increases their likelihood of enrolling into secondary school, leading to better opportunities for future prosperity.

This is where you come in:

£350 minimum target = 2,700+ mugs of porridge = 15 children going to school for a whole year

AND for every £9 you raise over your minimum fundraising target, you will provide 100 extra mugs of porridge to children born into poverty.

PLUS you can tick the Brighton Marathon off your bucket list.
