We feel so lucky to have been born in the UK. In Africa babies and their mothers still die from preventable causes. We are raising money to try and help prevent this from happening.

On Sunday 8th Sept a group of us, all friends from Wells Cathedral School, are cycling 20 miles from Cheddar to Yatton. Wish us luck and please support this incredibly worthwhile cause.

Many thanks from, Olly, Isla, Eliza, Gabe, Cordelia, Noah, Cleo, Will LJ, Holly, Will M, Ray and Peggy

Child.org is a charity which is trying to help mums and their babies by:

- Improving women's knowledge and autonomy to help them make informed decisions about their healthcare

- Improving the quality of maternal and child health services in Kenya

- Championing community-based solutions and strengthening government health systems

Since 2019, Child.org has supported over 10,000 pregnant women and their babies through their Team Mum pregnant women's groups: these groups bring women together, in their communities to learn life-saving health information so that mums can keep themselves, and their babies, alive, safe and healthy during pregnancy, birth and post-partum.

£100 is enough to set up a pregnancy support group for 15 women, to guide them through safe pregnancy with a 95% success rate.
