Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As a father of three children, I cannot imaging them growing up bereft of the most important thing in life, love, so I am going for another long run around London Town on Sunday 23rd April 2023.

Every child needs someone who supports them & takes care of them, who wants them to be happy. Every child needs to know they are loved & they belong. Children never belong in orphanages. They don’t protect children, they harm them. And they are never necessary. Every child needs a family. 

Hope and Homes for Children have been working to transform the lives of children in orphanages since 1994. Today we are working with children in 30 countries with our teams of skilled, local child-protection professionals to keep families together & reunite or build new families.

“Love is all you need” —John Lennon

About the charity

Hope and Homes for Children

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1089490
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.
