READ ALL ABOUT IT... IN THE TELEGRAPH! AfriKids are absolutely delighted to have been selected as one of the three benefitting charities from the Telegraph Christmas Charity Appeal this year. Alongside ‘Riding for Disabled’ and ‘Skillshare’, AfriKids will feature twelve articles across the Telegraph’s media leading up to christmas, with the important information on how to donate. We are extremely proud to have been chosen after a rigorous application process, and are very excited for the appeal to begin. Lissa Wallington, who submitted our application says: “When we heard the news about
The Telegraph, I was out in Ghana visiting our projects. I got a call from Sally, one of our Directors, whilst I was playing with the kids at Mama Laadi’s Foster Home. It was the best phone call I’ve ever had! It’s an amazing opportunity for AfriKids, we’ll have the ability to showcase the amazing work AfriKids Ghana do to a readership of 1.6 million people - I can’t wait to get stuck in!”
A journalist and photographer are flying to Ghana next week to visit the projects they will be writing about. We are sure the articles will be full of emotion after meeting our lovely beneficiaries! Readers will be able to donate in various ways, including a one day phone-in. The reception charities have received in previous years has
been phenomenal, which makes us even more pleased to have been selected this year, and the publicity AfriKids will receive is priceless. The appeal launches on 17th November, so keep your eyes peeled for articles on AfriKids!
“This partnership will be transformational for our organisation.” Lissa Wallington Communications and Events Manager, AfriKids UK
