Story

On Friday 9th February, 36 Salopians will be competing in 10 sports in 10 hours to raise money for Restart Africa.

Restart Africa rescues destitute street children in Gilgil, Kenya. They are orphaned or abandoned, and often the victims of horrible abuse. We give them shelter, care, education and security. We also run projects to help the wider community in Gilgil, providing employment, opportunity and self-respect for local people. Restart now looks after over 100 children, aged from a just few months old, in a new centre (opened in 2014) providing food, shelter, welfare and education. Most of our children have suffered severe, often sexual, abuse and deprivation, all have significant emotional issues.

Every £360 raised provides a child with the opportunity to access education via a local primary school.

The schedule, subject to change, is as follows:-

9pm-10pm - Mountain Biking

10pm-11pm - Dance

11pm-12pm - Hockey

12pm-1am - Basketball

1am-2am - Football

2am-3am- Cricket

3am-4am - Netball

About the charity

Restart Africa rescues destitute street children in Gilgil, Kenya. They are orphaned or abandoned, and often the victims of horrible abuse. We give them shelter, care, education and security. We also run projects to help the wider community in Gilgil, providing employment, opportunity and self-respect for local people. Restart now looks after over 100 children, aged from a just few months old, in a new centre (opened in 2014) providing food, shelter, welfare and education. Most of our children have suffered severe, often sexual, abuse and deprivation, all have significant emotional issues. It can take many months of love and care before they get over the hand to mouth existence they were leading on the streets, and are able to enjoy a more settled life in the Restart Centre. The charity supports a number of local initiatives to help employ and hence empower the community. These include a briquette making operation that provides the Centre with all its fuel requirements, and generates some income through local sales; a women’s craft group making bags, shoes and jewellery; our own agricultural plot supplying vegetables to the Centre and the village; an extensive herb garden that produces holistic medicinal treatments. The UK Trust is run by volunteers, so every penny you give goes directly to help the children who need it so much. To learn more about Restart, visit www.restartafrica.org
