Giving up chocolate for Chaffinch fundraiser, 1 March 2022
In the Kibera slum, accessing something as simple as a book is extremely difficult and tens of thousands of children never experience the joy of reading and its multitude of benefits. Provision of a children's library will make a valuable difference.

Story

Discovering Chaffinch last year was a 2021 highlight as I learnt about their work supporting vulnerable children in Kibera, Kenya. It's easy to forget that there are places in the world where food, shelter, education and healthcare are all hard to come by. I've come to learn children's names, their stories and journeys through Chaffinch and what positive things can be achieved by small charities. That's why this year, I have decided to give up my terrible habit of eating Nutella with a spoon and binge-eating chocolate with my partner on the weekend to fundraise for Chaffinch.
