Story

Tɛnki!! ("thank you" in Sierra Leone creole) very much for your donation.

Street Child works with a network of local partners to ensure every child has access to an education, especially in low resource environments and emergencies. 

Allen & Overy employees are aiming to raise £1,000,000 over two years to support our Global Charity Partner, Street Child. 
Half of these funds will help transform the life prospects of girls living in the Eastern Province of Sierra Leone by revitalizing 40 primary schools; enabling 1,500 girls to enroll into secondary school and, supporting their families to keep them there through establishing an income-earning enterprise. The rest will help Street Child to ensure that every child, no matter where they live, is safe, in school, and learning.

I'm inspired by the work that Street Child does so I wanted to raise money for them as part of my participation in the Sierra Leone Marathon. Please help me help them by giving whatever you can using the 'Donate' button. 

The more people that know about Street Child, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!
