Espoir de Demain (Tomorrow's Hope)


The fundraiser at the weekend to get Beninese orphans to school was well worth the effort and exhaustion. To date we have raised £2000 which will pay for the school fees of at least 66 children.

It was so amazing to have so many people come together for some kids on the other side of the world. It made me feel really optimistic about what's possible. It's not just about giving them an education. Going to school offers real protection from trafficking, domestic service, slavery, abuse and isolation.
