We’re over the moon to announce that we’ve partnered up with the UK Government which has pledged to match, pound for pound, all the money raised this Sport Relief, by the public, for its work in African slums.
The money will help to provide clean water, toilets and basic health care; give kids a better education; create real jobs, especially for women; and help those living in the slums to get the legal rights they need to build or rent their own houses instead of living in tin shacks.
In short, this partnership will utterly transform the lives of countless people, in Africa’s slums.
