I am going to walk 1 million steps between 1st August 31st October for Creating Better Futures.
Creating Better Futures use education to lift vulnerable children and orphans in Zimbabwe out of poverty. They are now helping disadvantaged children that have been impacted by the Coronavirus.
Many of these children were already living in abject poverty and lockdown has made this worse:
- Unprecedented drought has led to poor harvests, causing huge price increases and food shortages.
- Lockdown has made this worse as people can't leave their homes to earn money. 5.5 million people now risk starving.
- Education, seen as the route out of poverty, has been suspended as schools have closed.
Creating Better Futures are made up of a handful of staff and a dedicated team of volunteers. Coronavirus has forced them to cancel their fundraising events.
They need your help to keep the UK team working so they can focus on fundraising whist the Zimbabwe team can deliver on the ground.
We must continue to support the children who are most in need. Together we can make a tangible difference. Thank you for your support.
