VISIT YOUR SPONSORED CHILD

If you already sponsor a child in Rwanda, or are going to do so as part of your fundraising, you'll get the opportunity to meet them! See with your own eyes the incredible difference your sponsorship is making, ask those questions you’ve always wanted to ask and spend quality time with them during our sports day.

FUNDRAISE WITH A DIFFERENCE

Knowing the incredible impact one-to-one sponsorship has on children in poverty, we ask that you aim to find sponsors for 10 children. For every new sponsored child, your fundraising target will be reduced by £1,000. Your target starts at £10,000. That way, if you find sponsors for 10 children you’ve achieved your goal. Similarly, you could find 8 sponsors and £2,000 in donations and you’ve also reached the target! We have years of experience in fundraising so we’ll give you plenty of advice and tips.

All the cash donations raised by the team will fund a Child Survival Programme in Rwanda costing £8,000 a year. We hope to fund this program for many years to come!
