International Work in Africa
We support young girls in Africa by enabling them to go to school. In some rural areas in Africa girls are particularly disadvantaged when it comes to education and are at risk of getting marred off at the age of 13. Some parents are unable to afford the basic essentials of sending a child to school e.g. pencils, exercise books. It costs approximately £50 a term to provide a child with a school fees, uniform, shoes, school lunches and stationery etc. If you wish to help a child with whatever amount you can please contact us. |
