A Charity for the Children of Africa
Have you ever held a dying baby in your arms? Have you ever seen a mother in tears because she cannot look after her children? Have you ever seen a person so deformed that you cannot bear to look into their eyes?
Have you ever watched a small child playing and know that the only thing her parents left her was the AIDS virus? Have you ever watched as people beg for the very things that we throw out? Have you ever been moved by the fact that 19000 children die each day in Africa? Have you ever thought ‘that’s awful! Somebody should do something’? Have you ever realised that someone could be you? Have you ever cared enough to make a difference?

| Mosquito Appeal |  |
This year we aim to protect several communities in Uganda, by distributing mosquito nets to several villages around our schools and providing malaria treatment services. With your help we can save the lives of hundreds of babies, children and adults. At each distribution site we will also be providing free medical information about several life saving issues. We need your help to save as many lives as possible so please help us prevent more children from becoming just another malaria statistic. | |
| Run for Abaana |  |
There are 32 million street kids in Africa - It’s hard to imagine when we sit with a cup of coffee and watch our favourite or as we go to our warms beds, what life is like for the child as they lie in a cardboard box under a shop veranda. In 2011 we want you to “Run”, to help us raise funds to give some of these children a new life. In fact, you don't even need to run - you could jog, walk, hop, skip, whatever floats your boat! We want to have over 100 people taking part to raise over £30,000.Click on the image to visit our Run Abaana website. | |
