Childaid is a humanitarian organisation for the Third World, mostly working with street children in the slums of East Africa.

Childaid has a dedicated team of volunteers around the country who organize fund raising events on a regular basis. These committed volunteers know that any money they collect will go straight to those who need it most - the poorest of the poor.

Example Projects:

Hospice Uganda, in Kampala, provides palliative care for terminally ill patients in a number of centres throughout Uganda.

While most of the sufferers are adults, an increasing number of children are presenting for care. To help cater for this increase, ChildAid has donated £3,000 to the Hospice to help provide specialist care for these children, and to provide facilities for the children of adult patients.

Street Childrens Rescue Centre, Nairobi, KENYA

The Street Childrens Rescue Centre in Nairobi is co-sponsored by Childaid. The Centre rescues children that are being abused and gives them treatment whether it be medical or psychological.

The Centre then tries to re-integrate the children into a family environment. Childaid also donated a vehicle to the Centre to facilitate transporting children from the Slums to the Centre and up country to families taking in children.

As a result of Childaid's funding, the Rescue Centre has been able to move to a more secure site that has a garden for the kids to play in. It has also been able to increase the number of children it can accommodate.
