Raising The Money

 Chris receiving a cheque from Dauntsey's School, Wiltshire.

Since the creation of Facing Africa in 1998, we have had hundreds of donations and have to date raised over £500,000 for the Sokoto Project. Our main source of funds comes from the Sahara Marathon (details below) but we also aim to increase general awareness, in order to create a base of regular supporters. The picture to the left shows Chris Lawrence, trustee and chairman of Facing Africa, accepting a cheque for £23,719.11 (about 34,600 EUR) from Dauntsey's School (www.dauntseys.wilts.sch.uk) in Wiltshire who made Facing Africa their chosen charity for 2005/2006.

Other generous donors have included Ethiopiaid (£ 50,000), The Popli Khalatbari Charitable Foundation, Michael Palin's Foundation, HRH Princess Alexandra, Bruce Weber and many others.

Your Help Is Needed

If you would like to help raise money for Facing Africa we would of course be delighted and very grateful. You may like to consider any one of the many fund-raising opportunities that exist from holding a coffee morning, sponsoring a Marathon des Sables competitor (the registration fee is around £3,000 per person), asking your local church to donate a collection, competing in a local fun-run (mini-marathon) or simply asking your friends for donations. A gift, large or small, can and will make a lasting difference to a Noma victim's quality of life.

Standing orders and legacies:- needless to say, a small regular donation made by standing order from your bank enables us to plan ahead. If you would like to receive a bank standing order form, please contact Yzanne Martin Hallett. Should you consider leaving a legacy to Facing Africa, Facing Africa will ensure that your kindness and generosity will make a huge difference to one or many of the tragic Noma victims in Africa. If you need more information about the work we do, please do not hesitate to contact us.

If you would like any further information about fundraising ideas or anything to do with Facing Africa, please contact Chris Lawrence chris@facingafrica.org or Yzanne Martin Hallett at yzanne@facingafrica.org.
