why trek FOR aFRICAN CHILDREN’S fUND?

Seemingly small donations enable our partners to minimise school absence and improve outcomes for children, leading to improved opportunities into adulthood: 

  • £12 provides a girl in Tanzania with reusable sanitary towels and access to social education forums so she won't miss one week in four of her schooling; 

  • £20 covers the cost of a care pack for an orphaned family in Zimbabwe so they children concentrate on learning rather than working;

  • £90 pays for a mug of porridge for 1,000 children in Kenya, reducing the need for working, scavenging or begging for food;

  • £250 supports a social worker in Uganda, to resettle a child rescued from the streets with a family.
