How the money you raise helps
Thank you for fundraising for us and helping to make a lasting difference for vulnerable children around the world. We are supported entirely by your donations and together, we can help make sure that every child, no matter who they are or where they live, can grow up safe, happy and healthy.
Here's where your money could go:
- £5 = enough food to feed a malnourished child for a week.
- £20 = mosquito nets to protect 10 families from deadly malaria.
- £150 = a school-in-a-box containing school equipment for 40 children to continue with their education during an emergency or natural disaster.
