In March I had the opportunity to visit the Stand by Me project in Kenya and see firsthand the life-changing difference being made to the lives of children living in some of the poorest communities in the world.
Having spent time with the families of the children in Stand by Me's care, I am doing this fundraiser to help them start their own life changing micro businesses and break the cycle of poverty. Every £90 raised will support a family for a year through Stand by Me’s Savings and Internal Lending Communities programme (SILC) and enable them to generate an income that will help to provide for their everyday needs.

Stand by Me rescues kids from extreme circumstances, then provides the care, love and attention they need to thrive. We care for over 3,800 kids across the world, from Myanmar to Colombia to Ethiopia. No two are the same, some are orphaned, some abandoned, some abused or living in extreme poverty, so we take care to meet each of their individual needs from food and healthcare, to loving parents and quality education, enabling them to reach their potential, stand on their own two feet and become who they were created to be.
