Run for Redearth

By | News
Redearth’s vision is to provide every child with an equal chance to succeed, and every community to thrive. Nursery education in Uganda is neither free nor easily accessible and the money raised so far by the team is enough to sponsor one child through three years of nursery education. The team have exceeded their original target by so much, that only a few extra hundred of pounds will be enough to help support two children through three years of nursery education. If you wish to help their cause you can still donate by visiting: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/run-for-redearth Please visit Redearth’s website to find out more about the amazing work they do: http://redeartheducation.co.uk/
