Fundraising
One of the pillars of our initiative is to raise money for the
Children’s Hospital Trust.
“The Children’s Hospital Trust is an independent non-profit organization established in 1994 to raise funds to support specific projects and programmes to help advance child healthcare through the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital – the first stand-alone tertiary hospital, exclusively for children, in sub-Saharan Africa. The Trust raises funds for the upgrade and expansion of the Hospital’s buildings, the purchase of state-of-the-art medical equipment, new medical treatment programmes and funds the training of medical professionals across Africa – ensuring that the Hospital not only retains its world-class stature, but is able to continue providing life-changing and life-saving care for children.”
We raise funds through various avenues. Donations are made through events such as the “Portuguese Evening” held annually
by Round Table… and participation by “Team Just Breathe” in events such as the Wild Coast Challenge.
We are constantly seeking new avenues and ideas to raise funds for the Children’s Hospital Trust and appreciate any and all support.
TEN TOO
There is always a need for help at the hospital and our communities.
Our “Ten Too to You” program aims to help wherever we can.
“Ten Too” is how our hero Connor used to say “thank you” and so this is our way of helping and giving thanks for how fortunate we are.
“Our Ten Too initiative is where we identify or are alerted to a specific need or needs be it within the community or for an individual person. With this initiative, we aim to help wherever we can. This is an effective way to foster a sense of community and encourage all of us to get involved (including our children) and give back to those desperately in need.
Our view on helping others is simple, any help is appreciated, no matter how big or small….what may be small to you could be monumental to others.”
