Paige Greeff is raising money for African Children's Fund
In memory of Michael Belford
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am raising money for the African Children's Fund Charity in rememberance of my late grandpa Mike. His birthday also happens to fall on Africa Day (25th of May). I know he would be proud of my attempt to give back after I was blessed with funding for my undergraduate degree. Accessible education is not just necessary, but I believe it should be a right for all individuals globally. This initiative will run from the 20th of April to the 25th of May. I hope by then I will have raised at least £200 to go towards this charity which aims to minimise poverty through education in Africa. Children deserve the opportunity to make a life for themselves!
African Children's Fund is a small UK-based charity, currently supporting almost 4,000 children born into poverty in Africa. They work with local partners on numerous initiatives to keep children in school and to give them the best possible opportunities for the future.
The biggest programme they support is a Porridge Clubs school feeding programme in Kenya, where a daily mug of porridge has played a huge role in reducing school absenteeism. Children no longer have to work, scavenge or beg for food on the streets and instead, are safely learning in the classroom, creating better opportunities for a brighter future. Each mug of porridge costs just 9p so for every £17 of donations from grandpa Mike's page, a child will be able to go to school for an entire year. Please join me in my efforts to honour grandpa's memory with a wee donation. Any donation is so appreciated!
