Why Your Donation Matters
Your support can directly impact the children’s lives in tangible, meaningful ways. Here’s how your donation will help:
⭐️ Improved Living Conditions: £75 will provide 5 fans for classrooms and bedrooms, essential during the hot summer months when temperatures often exceed 30°C. These fans will help keep the children comfortable and safe.
⭐️ Better Infrastructure: £200 will connect a gas geyser to the kitchen, providing hot water for cooking and cleaning, greatly improving hygiene and quality of life.
⭐️ Level the Soccer Field: Many of the children at Mother of Peace love football, and we are raising funds to level and prepare a safe, solid playing field. This field will provide not only joy and exercise but also lessons in teamwork, discipline, and resilience—skills they can carry with them for life.
⭐️ Sports Equipment: £250 will help purchase new football boots, soccer balls, and kits, allowing the children to play safely and build their confidence and teamwork.
⭐️ Roof for the Verandah: The smaller verandah is currently without a roof, and although a gazebo provides some shade, it’s not sufficient, especially when it rains. £400 will provide the materials needed to build a proper roof, creating a dry and shaded space where the children can gather and enjoy their time together. One of the young men living and working at the orphanage, who has been trained in welding and maintenance, will help build the roof, further developing his skills.

Our Goal: £2,000
We aim to raise £2,000 to support these critical improvements. Every pound you donate will go directly toward making life better for these children—whether through providing cooler classrooms, better facilities, or the tools they need to develop confidence and hope for the future.
**Join Us in Making a Difference**
Your donation, whether £5, £20, or more, will help us reach our goal and make a lasting impact. I’ll keep you updated with photos, stories, and progress reports so you can see how your generosity is transforming these children’s lives.


Why I’m Passionate About This Cause
This cause is close to my heart. I’ve seen how small acts of kindness can change lives, and I know how powerful it is to offer children the chance to heal, grow, and create lasting memories. Your donation isn’t just about providing a roof, sports equipment, or new facilities—it’s about offering these children hope, joy, and the chance to build a brighter future.
Stay Connected and Involved
Once you donate, I promise to keep you updated on the progress of this important project. I’ll share updates, photos, and stories of the children whose lives you’re helping to change. You’ll see how your generosity is truly making a difference.
Please donate today to help give these children the hope and future they deserve. Your support will not only change their lives—it will also inspire others to believe in the power of kindness and community.
