Huge thank you to Holy Trinity Church!

We're thrilled to announce that the Rwanda Children of Hope Project has received an extremely generous award of £5,000 towards the purchase of land for a new home.  The Church Council of Holy Trinity Church in Wimbledon awarded this fantastic donation to Quest4Change as part of our ongoing New Home Appeal.

We cannot thank them enough - this will make a huge difference.

A new plot of land upon which to build a new house will enable Ubaka U Rwanda to completely cut out their current largest outgoing, which is rent, owning their yet-to-be-built house outright.  This will enable the home for ex-street children to extend the level of support they can provide to the 30 boys who live at Ubaka, as well as increasing the number of children and young men supported in education and job training.


On a day-to-day level, this will mean a good quality and suitable purpose-built home for the boys, all of which will help to give them the new start in life that they deserve.  Currently, all 30 boys are cramped into 4 small bedrooms, with inadequate toilets and insufficient room for play, a vital component for these children to overcome the trauma of their early childhood.

But the boys do their best with the little space they have...

Can you help us get that bit closer to our campaign target?

We've one last place left for the Brighton Marathon 2012 - entries close March 1st, so get your running shoes on!
