WeSeeHope and their work amazed me last October- not just the immediate help they gave to individuals, but also how they structured help for the wider community that could make a long term change for the better.

We (some fit, some mad, some simply determined) are cycling to support children who are living without the support of parents and guardians through WeSeeHope's Child Headed Households Programme. In communities where there are high levels of poverty, HIV/AIDS, prostitution and disease, many children are left without a parent or guardian to care and provide for them. These children are the most vulnerable within their communities; isolated, desperate and without protection, they are likely to suffer neglect, abuse and exploitation.

£50 can provide a child headed household in Malawi with a bicycle, giving them an immediate source of income. £10 can establish a food garden for a child headed household in Uganda.£150 can provide a child headed household in Uganda with two vaccinated pigs. Piglet sales provide a critical economic support for the basic needs, education and medical costs of the child and their siblings.
