Charity
SOCRA is registered a Uk charity No:1014893 set up in 1992 also Registered Kenya and Somalia. Now 4 million children and women across Kenya,and Somalia are facing life-threatening, protection,trafficking,victims of violence and shortages of food and water caused by severe drought. Lost their caregivers or guardians (orphans). Lost contact with their caregivers. For example, street children, unaccompanied displaced or refugee children kenya & Somalia. Been separated from their parents. For example, where parents are detained or children are abducted. Been placed in alternative care by their caregivers. For example, children with disabilities or children from poor families who are placed in institutions. Been kept in prolonged hospital care. For example, on grounds of health status, such as HIV status. Been detained in educational, remand, correctional or penal facilities as a result of an administrative or judicial decision. For example, suspected or convicted offenders or child asylum seekers. Although the reasons vary greatly, separation from parents and family is usually detrimental for the overall well being and development of the child. In addition, placement in institutions is often not the best solution for separated children. Children without the guidance and protection of their primary caregivers are often more vulnerable and at risk of becoming victims of violence, exploitation, trafficking, discrimination or other abuses. In conflict situations, involuntary separation from both family and community protection, sometimes across national borders, greatly increases the child's risk of exposure to violence, physical abuse, exploitation and even death. Surviving children face malnutrition, illness, physical and psychosocial trauma, and impaired cognitive and emotional development. Unaccompanied girls are at especaily

Running Joke's fundraising page
Thanks for visiting our page. A great day was had. Thanks to everyone who was there and helped. There is still time to donate and see how much we can raise.
The very good cause is to raise money and awareness for the famine in Somalia / East Africa. The chosen charity is SOCRA whose aim is to assist in pretty much every way in these locations. So please donate and give us all a good reason to run and a few of us a good reason to risk passing out or worse ! Thanks for viewing the site and all donations are very much appreciated.
