It is always extremely difficult to convey the effects of extreme poverty on communities and what this equates to in absolute terms without having witnessed it for oneself. We hope that with these few examples and photos we might be able to appeal to you to support our charity's activities which you can do by sending us a donation however small.  We are a direct action charity and all our grants go directly to our beneficiaries.

Our registered charity address can found in Contact Us. Any donation which is supported by one of the Gift Aid forms above will allow us to reclaim tax from Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs at 25 pence for every pound given if you are UK tax payer.  You can make a donation directly to our bank account using the following details:-
