Clowns Without Borders UK
(UK, 1156987) Browse events
YTD Raised: £355.00
(UK, 1156987) Clowns Without Borders aims to improve the lives of children who live in areas of crisis including refugee camps, conflict zones and natural disaster. Through a combination of performances and workshops we enable "children to be children" and create moments of laughter and play when it is needed the most. In areas of crisis children are often the first group in any population to lose their rights; the right to be a child. We create opportunities for children (and communities) to play and relax. Our work doesn't stop there. We know the best way for children to understand anything is to make it fun and so we ensure our performances and workshops deliver and strengthen relevant messages regarding children’s social welfare, education, health and Human Rights.

Eating Stones Fund
(UK, 1132789) Browse events
YTD Raised: £143.00The Eating Stones Fund UK was established in April 2007 by an international development student from Leeds University, after spending time working with a social development group and HIV/AIDs clinic in an area of slum dwelling on the edge of the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. The people in Kenyas slums are affected by poverty and sickness every day of their lives. As a result adults are unable to work, children become malnourished and many are orphaned. They desperately need help. Currently operating an orphanage which is home to 48 of Kenyas most vulnerable young people along with a primary school, clinic and with several community projects in the pipe line Eating Stones has become well known as a project that is succeeding in its mission to relieve poverty and provide the opportunity of a better life for those who would otherwise be without. At Eating Stones we feel that country, city, town, community and individual specific programmes are key in relieving poverty which is why all of our work in Kenya is tailored to the particular needs of all involved. As a relatively small charity we greatly rely on the hard work of those who put on events or collect money through sponsorship.
