Charity
NDCC is a registered charity working to support young people living in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia. The Centre provides everyday essentials like food, clothes and access to accommodation for its students, helping them to put and end to their life on the streets, and to finish their education in a safe environment. Founded in 2006, NDCC has grown from caring for 12 children to supporting over 50, and now employs nine local staff. One hundred per cent of the money we raise goes straight into the project, making sure that all of our students get the care they deserve and that every donation really does make a difference.

Low2High: Africa
On January 17, 2011, Kyle Henning will embark on Low2High: Africa - a human-powered, solo expedition from the lowest point on the African continent to the highest. Starting at the shore of Lake Assal, Djibouti (155m below sea level), he will bicycle more than 3,000 km through Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, and Tanzania to the base of Mount Kilimanjaro, and then trek to the summit of Uhuru Peak (5,895m above sea level).
Kyle has just finished his Peace Corps service in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia. He spent the last two years improving the city's HIV/AIDS Services Network and teaching Life Skills classes to young adults at the New Day Children's Centre.
Low2High: Africa is a fundraiser for the New Day Children's Centre. As the Centre expands, the need for a larger compound is becoming greater. Kyle hopes to raise enough money to pay for the down-payment, and enable the Centre to reach even more disadvantaged children in Bahir Dar.
