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.
