African Adventures Foundation December 2024 Update

A message to sponsors from the Afican Adventures Team:

"MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

Sending you a heartfelt and resounding thank you from us and the entire team at African Adventures

The incredible generosity and support for our Christmas Meal Appeal this year has been truly transformative

Thanks to your donations, we’ve been able to spread the joy and magic of the season to children at our partner schools in Ghana and Kenya

Through our year-round food security programme, we ensure that children in our Kenyan partner schools receive two basic meals every day. This Christmas, your support allowed us to go far beyond that. You made it possible for 1000's of children to enjoy a special meal of meat, potatoes, vegetables, chapatti, and more, along with refreshing drinks

The smiles, laughter, and excitement you’ve brought to these young faces are immeasurable. Your kindness has not only brightened their holiday but has also eased the worries of parents who struggle daily to provide for their families

So, as you enjoy your own Christmas celebrations, please know that you’ve played a vital role in making this season memorable and meaningful for so many others

Thank you for believing in the work we do and for being a part of this journey with us. We look forward to collaborating more in 2025 and beyond. Wishing you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 

Thank you,

Kya and Rachel

Haddenham and District Rotary have recently extended its international humanitarian aid interests by contributing to the Christmas Meal Appeal run by African Adventures Foundation, a charity based in Hampshire who partner with, and deliver aid to, schools in deprived areas in Africa

Our donation is sufficient to feed and bring great joy to, an entire school of 300 children

The Foundation helps to fund infrastructure improvements, essential equipment provision, food security, and water, sanitation and hygiene programmes in Ghana, Kenya and Zanzibar

Many of the children who attend partner schools in Kenya live on or around the local dumpsite, in unimaginable conditions. School is a daily safe-haven for them, and a place where they can learn, see their friends, and receive a meal – for many, the only food they have each day

Food is a pre-requisite for learning, so every child who attends a partner school is provided with a cup of porridge each morning and a plate of cabbage and ugali (maize or corn flour cooked in milk) each lunchtime

The Christmas Meal Appeal plays a very important role in the Foundation’s annual calendar enabling thousands of children who attend partner schools in Ghana and Kenya to look forward to and enjoy a special meal and a party. For children who have so little, the Christmas Meal really does mean a lot
