child care

Children are supposed to be safe at school ...

But how can they be when playgrounds aren't fenced? When just a few steps would take them out into the middle of a busy road, or even the railway line? Or when the places they play are used as a thoroughfare by passers by, who drop all kinds of litter for the little ones to pick up.

Right now, our number one priority is to fence these community pre-schools and children's care centres. Please will you help - by making an online donation now?

If enough of our friends help, there may even be money left over to buy outdoor play equipment like swings, climbing frames and roundabouts!

But safety comes first! Also, crèches must be fenced to qualify for the government subsidy, which is another reason why I hope you will click here to make an online donation.

Please reach out to children in poverty, who are disadvantaged at every turn. Help us keep them safe, while they gain the foundation of a good education. Thank you for caring!
