| Food for orphans and vulnerable children |
| With families often below the $1 a day poverty line any donation is welcome. However, this is not a one off shot and we would ask that if you want to give money to help with the day to day costs such as food that you set up a regular giving direct to the charity’s bank account. | |||||||||
This regular giving helps us plan into the future rather from month to month. The income that comes in in this way entirely goes to keeping children in school by paying school fees and in some cases helps address the issue of food |
| Currently children in Zimbabwe and in Kenya benefit from money given in this way. Even just £5 a month can make a real difference to real children. £8 a month covers the full cost of educating a child.
