Welcome to Fast 4 Africa 2007

Do you know that your pets have more money spent on them than many children in Africa?

 

FACTS

The cost of feeding a dog "all of it nutritional needs, for a Healthy Maturity" on Pedigree Senior canned food is 56p a day. (comes in three tasty flavours)

Meanwhile, half of Africa live on less than $1 (60p) a day. (and have less nutirion than your pet)

FACTS FOR THIS CHRISTMAS

At Christmas time, we spend even more on ourselves, our friends and family....

  • In the UK alone we will spend over £14 billion on presents
  • On average each person will have £310 spent on them
  • £1.6bn going on food and drink.
  • In the UK we will eat 10 million turkeys
  • 25 million Christmas puddings
  • 250 million pints of beer
  • 35 million bottles of wine
  • 7 million children leave mince pies and a drink for Santa on Christmas Eve.

Join us this christmas and take part in fast4africa. We can change lives.

Help us to help them!

Today in Africa many children live on the streets. Their only water supply is a muddy sewer. Their food is often found in rubbish tips. Their bed is where-ever they can find to shelter them from their harsh reality.Children like Emmanuel was found at Christmas in a plastic bag in a rubbish tip, someone heard a weak cry. So many babies are being abandoned for unknown reasons, some are meant to be found, and some are thrown away as if rubbish.

Across the world there are over 100 million children on the streets

 

THE CHRISTMAS CLUB

If you think that a sponsored event it not for you, here are a few more ideas. Or you can do these as well. Check out the sites below.

Idea 1- Dear Santa (I don't want as much)
Ask our family, friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, wife/husband, dog, postman etc to give 25%, 50% or 75% of what they would expect to spend on us, to Children in Africa. Its as simple as that. Imagine how much of a difference even a few of us could make together by doing this….

Idea 2- Gift Vouchers for pressies
Instead of buying lots of chocolate, socks, perfume and a Jamie Oliver cook book etc for our family and friends, lets buy them alternative presents….e.g A goat for an African family, clean water for a family, or a voucher to throw a Christmas party for Street kids. What a wonderful thing…. Check this out!
