Charity
Street Child Africa works with local partner organisations in sub-Saharan Africa to support children in street situations who are often uncounted and unheard. These children are denied access to education and healthcare, subject to violence and overlooked by government policy. The daily injustices they face are violations of international human rights law. Street Child Africa recognises that children in street situations are entitled to protection, provision of services and participation in matters affecting them. Street Child Africa funds twelve grassroots organisations in eight countries; Senegal, Ghana, Nigeria, Uganda, DR Congo, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Street work Education and skills training Drop-in and residential centres Basic healthcare services Family tracing, mediation and reintegration.

Jane Atkinson's fundraising page
Hello Everyone,
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I will be doing the London Marathon on 22nd April 2012 in order to raise money for StreetChild Africa, which aims to provide education, healthcare and protection for children in Africa. Please support my run! :)
Money raised at the events will go to Street Child Africa, a charity which will help educate children facing hardship and discrimination and break the cycle of poverty that traps generation after generation.
Access to education is the right of every child. Children whose lives revolve around the street are among the poorest and most vulnerable people in the world and they miss out on school because they must work to buy food and shelter, and simply cannot afford uniforms and books. Enabling children to have a secure future away from the streets helps to break the cycle of poverty from generation to generation and families of the children will benefit too. To find out more information about Street Child Africa, please visit http://www.streetchildafrica.org.uk/

Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now.
Thanks!
