Story

My mother was a great adventuress. She was also a huge supporter of this amazing charity, right up until her recent death. As well as being a purposeful and somewhat challenging way to mark my 70th year, I know she would have been encouraging of my joining this trek to help raise vital funds.

“Orphanages do not protect children, they harm them”, which is why this charity works tirelessly towards a day when every child can grow up in a loving family. It has achieved so much in its first 25 years and whatever you are able to donate will help transform more children's lives, so do please give what you can.  Thank you!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

About the charity

Hope and Homes for Children

5.4 million children across the world are currently trapped in orphanages – even though 80% of them have family they could live with if they had the right support. Orphanages harm children, depriving them of love and exposing them to abuse. Your support helps us get children to back to family.
