Their Every Child in School programme has already helped some 6,000 children in neglected rural areas of the country gain access to education. However with an estimated 300,000 with no access to primary education and an increasing number of children orphaned by the Ebola epidemic, there is still a long way to go.&nbsp[/span][lt]/span[gt][/p] [lt]p style="margin-right: 0cm margin-left"[gt][span=color: black][lt]span style="font-size: small"[gt]Kate was the CEO of the charity Africa Governance Initiative, and the work she did in Africa has had far reaching effects.&nbsp Its work across 7 different countries involves anything from delivering better healthcare to facillitating education reform, and has in recent months been instrumental in providing support during the ebola crisis. Sierra Leone was a country that held a very special place in Kates heart. This is a chance for us all to help change lives, as she did with her work every day.[/span][lt]/span[gt][/p] [lt]p style="margin-right: 0cm margin-left"[gt][span=color: black][lt]span style="font-size: small"[gt]We hope to raise &pound15,000 in order to set up a permanent school for the community. Your donations will be very gratefully recieved. If you would like to run your own fundraising events for the cause, please get in touch. Thank you.[/span][lt]/span[gt][/p] [lt]p style="margin-right: 0cm margin-left"[gt][span=color: black][lt]span style="font-size: small"[gt]Lots of love xx[/span][lt]/span[gt][/p][lt]p style="margin-right: 0cm margin-left"[gt][span=color: black][lt]span style="font-size: small"[gt]Jo Gross[/span][lt]/span[gt][/p]
