The money that you
raise helps us to combat poverty and injustice. Doing it is fun and
gets lots of people involved with our work.
We support
development programmes for the most disadvantaged groups; for rural
and community development; for education, training and employment;
for health; for HIV/AIDS and for the environment.
Money
raised goes where it's needed most: over 90% of our income is spent
directly on projects and programmes in East Africa
There are loads of
things that you can do with our help:
Do a
sponsored event like
a silence, fun run or bike ride or organize your own event or
