Sarah Griffith formed the charity in July 2005 after she had spent 6 months working with another locally based Charity. Sarah saw a different focus and was compelled to help in a slightly different way. She had seen with her own eyes the fact that the money pledged in the thousands of US dollars from all around the world did not seem to be reaching its intended destination and realised she would have to come up with a credible way forward to set the Charity apart from the many others that were around. 

She set about compiling a shopping list - this meant a prospective donor would pin point an item such as a bed or food parcel - provide funds for it and Sarah would undertake to buy and distribute it personally and bring the donor a photo as evidence along with a little about the situation of the individual or family. 

This went down very well and the shopping list style of sponsorship is still a mainstay of our work.

We have happily managed to get various individuals and companies to fund houses as well. The story from start to finish is provided for all to see. With the amount of corruption all around we feel that everything we try and achieve should be explained in as much detail as possible.
