Story

All 67 members of Churchill's Hall will be dancing up a sweat in a Zumbathon to raise funds for Restart Africa.

Restart Africa is on a mission to rescue destitute street children in Gilgil, Kenya. With your support, we can make a difference in the lives of these vulnerable children.

Education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and giving these children a chance at a brighter future. Just £300 can provide a street child with an entire year of education.

By supporting our Zumbathon - fundraising Zumba Class on March 17, 2024, you'll not only be helping us raise funds but also joining us in celebrating the power of community and dance. It's going to be an exhilarating event where we let loose, move our hips, and raise money for this important cause.

Our goal is to raise £3,000, which will cover the cost of schooling for 10 street children for an entire year. Together, we can transform their lives and uplift the entire community of Gilgil, Kenya.

We are very grateful for your support.

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
