Bohunt Horsham Sponsored Walk 2023 · 21 June 2023

Our charity started in 1998 and has been working with some of the poorest communities in the world ever since. We aim to bring relief of poverty through education and the provision of care for orphans, needy children and young people. We have a primary school which serves the local area, 400 children from subsistence farming families attend. We have 45 sponsored children who are being supported through primary school and have the opportunity to train either in further education or a vocational course. Our vision is that through our work, these children may escape the cycle of poverty and be equipped with skills for life for an independent and fulfilled future.

Story

Here is a little bit about the charity we are fundraising for:

Our charity founders (Mike & Coral Parsons) had the vision to help some of the poorest children in Uganda to forge brighter futures. As teachers in the UK, they placed a strong emphasis on education and had a keen awareness of the importance of community engagement, partnering with local families and community leaders since 1992. In those early days, we worked out of one site, supporting vulnerable children through primary and secondary school while catering for other urgent needs such as medical treatment and, where necessary, accommodation. Today education and community remain at the heart of what we do. We now work out of two village locations and continue to support the education and welfare of hundreds of children; some directly through our child sponsorship programme, others through attendance at our local infant and primary school in Kisimula village.
