AktivKidz Lesotho Project

Welcome to this money pot !The goal of AktivKidz is to get kids active! Some studies predict that our children will live a shorter life than us and that this is due to our inactive lifestyle. The same studies say that should our children live a longer life, their health will be poor again due to inactivity. Nearly 25% of teenagers in Luxembourg are overweight or obese and this is getting worse. We aim to get kids active by creating inclusive, participative and fun sporting events in school, at the weekend and in the holidays.  We have kids running a marathon during the school year. We will once again do the family Tri4Life event in 2017. All kids can use this page to collect any onlone sponsorship money from friend and family.  As a not for profit organisation, all our profits go to Lesotho in southern Africa where we work in conjunction with Kick4Life. Lesotho is a country that has the second highest prevalance of HIV in the world and over 25 % of kids have lost parents to HIV. Kick4Life is a charity devoted to social change in Lesotho. By using sport (football) they educate kids about HIV and offer free testing, counselling and ongoing support. They also help kids in Lesotho get active through sport. Click to make a contribution. If you are sponsoring a child taking part in actvities please use their name in any reference. Thanks. * Give however much you want.* All payments are secureThank you!

Anna's new wheelchair

Welcome to my money pot! I am Anna, I was diagnosed with Friderichs Ataxia when I was 14, a progressively more degenerative illness with symptoms not dissimilar to MND though with slower progression. This slowly took away my mobility and by the time I was 16 I was needing to use a wheelchair every day, however this wheelchair only allowed me to self propel inside and my world got smaller and darker. When I was 21 a charity called Action for Kids considered me a kid and helped me fund an outdoor powered wheelchair; the Alber Adventure. It totally opened up my world and allowed me to go to places that I just couldn't  for at least the previous 5 years, everone else takes an afternoon at a country park for granted. The first holiday after getting the chair was to The Lake District and I can't explain how liberating it was and my world grew and grew. Although the Alber Adventure is a great chair, it has now had 11 years of hard use, it is no longer manufactured and so it has a couple of major faults now that just can't be sorted out. It has served me well, and in that time it has allowed me to volunteer as a Rainbow, Brownie and Guide leader including taking my Guides to Switzerland, taking the Guides on camp, and to Somerset, taking the Brownies on unit holiday and plenty of walks, orienteering, treasure hunts, sports days and wide games in the New Forest and parks. I also volunteered at Scout Eurojam in Essex, on Brownsea Island for the Scout Centenary, a Scout Jamboree in Ireland and hopefully at The World Scout Moot in Iceland this summer. I have done my Duke of Edinburgh and Queens Guide awards and enjoy dog walks pretty much every day, some  in the New Forest some other local areas. I always had an adventurous streak as a child an outdoor powerchair allows me to be who I want to be and desperately don't want to have to let that go. I need to replace the Alber Adventure, however the replacement is going to cost £13.608 as this is how much I have been quoted by All Terrain Wheelchairs (01952 471255 - Quote 1285)I hope to be doing a number of challenges and sponsored events to be actively work for these funds. * Should this be funded be the NHS? - The NHS are only responsible for an everyday chair, not this.* Are you applying to charities? - Yes however I am only eligible to apply to a few charities for grants and the maximum awarded is usually about £2500.* Shouldn't you have just saved for this? 2 years ago Dan and I bought a house. We kept back some savings for an extension to the house to improve the access and for a replacement chair. We were told that we would be eligible for some statuatory help with the building works for access; but we were then told we were ineligible so we were forced to spend all our savings on creating access to our home.* Does this site charge fees? - Yes but it is one of the lowest around. 2.9% (for money pots over £2,000) although if you prefer you can donate to me or the wheelchair company directly.

Help kids infected with HIV

Нам нужна ваша помощь! В 2006 году более 180 новорожденных были заражены вирусом ВИЧ по халатности врачей в больницах Южного Казахстана. Непроверенную кровь врачи покупали за бесценок в Узбекистане и продавали за хорошую цену в больницах Шымкента. За этот черный бизнес маленькие дети заплатили своими жизнями. Часть зараженных детей умерла, остальные живут и принимают лекарства каждый день, думая, что пьют витамины. Их иммуннаясистема очень слабая и они много болеют.  Благодаря современной медицине, ВИЧ перестал быть приговором. Многие люди с вирусом иммунодефицита доживают до 50 лет. Но в Казахстане, как и во многих других развивающихся странах, к сожалению, такие люди и их семьи становятся изгоями общества, их выгоняют из школ, не берут на работу, люди их избегают. В этом году эти дети достигли возраста 11-12 лет, и настало время сообщить им об их болезни во время летних каникул... но как объяснить 11-летнему ребенку, что шанс на полноценную жизнь у него был отнят врачами-недоумками? К слову, главврачи этих трех больниц получили по 3 года условно. И все.  В общем, этим детям и их родителям, большинство из которых находится в постоянной депрессии, срочно необходима психологическая помощь. Дети должны узнать, что они возможно, не смогут иметь семью и своих детей, и что их жизнь полна ограничений, и при этом не сойти с ума и не наложить на себя руки (такие случаи уже были). "А что же государство?" - спросите вы. Государство про них забыло. Чиновники ездят, по телевизору про них говорят (видео внизу), но, к сожалению, денег никто не дает.  А практически все больные дети - это дети из бедных семей, из аулов под Шымкентом.  Сейчас у нас главная цель собрать деньги на психологов, которых привезут из Петербурга, и организовать детям хоть какое-то развлечение в течении каникул. Если показать им, что жизнь продолжается, что мир прекрасен и необъятен, им будет легче принять свою болезнь.  Сумма, которую запросил фонд, составляет £27,979. Часть этих денег уже была собрана благодаря мини-аукционам и частным пожертвованиям. Осталось собрать примерно половину. Мы будем очень благодарны любым суммам. Спасибо всем, кто не остался равнодушным! Ваши денежные пожертвования помогут подарить ребенку:£10 поход в бассейн£25 канцтовары для школы£50 консультация с психологом£100 консультация родителей и ребенка с психологом£150 поездка в Астану на EXPO 2017 на одного ребенка ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  We need your help!In 2006 over 180 newborn babies got infected with HIV by the negligence of medical staff in the clinics of South Kazakhstan. Now, these kids reached the age (11-12) when their illness has to be disclosed to them, and they require psychological help to adapt to the news. Unfortunately, our government does not wish to support these children. You can check this story in the news, but it's only in Russian. With your donations, we can provide these children with psychological treatments and increase the quality of their lives during the adaptation period. For you donations we can provide a child with the following:£10 one swimming pool session;£25 one school stationery kit for a year;£50 one hour psychological session;£100 one hour one-to-one psychological session with parents and the child;£150 trip to Astana for EXPO 2017 per child.

500 miles PKU

You've heard the one about walking 500 miles, well in 2017 I will be running 500 miles and hopefully more, including the Barcelona marathon in March, to raise funds for The National Society for Phenylketonuria (NSPKU) that help families coping with children diagnosed with PKU.PKU is a rare genetic condition that causes an amino acid called phenylalanine to build up in the body. Our bodies normally break down protein in foods like meat and fish into amino acids, which are the "building blocks" of protein. These amino acids are then used to make our own proteins.Any amino acids that aren't needed are broken down further and removed from the body. People with PKU can't break down the amino acid phenylalanine, which then builds up in the blood and brain. In short it means that people with PKU have to have a very restricted diet with very few "exchanges" of protein. That means no meat, fish, bread, dairy products and a host of other daily food items we take for granted.My nephew Christy (pictured) was diagnosed days after his birth with PKU. Thankfully, he is a happy and healthy boy thanks to the family support network around him that know about and can help him deal with the condition as he grows older.Funds raised through this project will go helping families that aren't so fortunate and aiding research into advancements in how to treat the condition.Thank you so much to anyone who can donate anything. I will be thinking of you on the roads and treadmills for the next 12 months.Kieran

Helping Joey

Welcome to this money pot !Colin is hoping to raise money for Joey who is an adorable boy, soon to turn four. He has cerebral palsy which makes everyday activities difficult for him, such as standing and walking. Joey uses special equipment to help move around safely. He uses plastic splints on his feet to help him learn to walk, so requires certain shoes to fit over these....these shoes alone cost £40 (often requiring two pairs each time the splints are changed)!!  To help Joey get stronger and progress with his therapy, his family pay for weekly private therapy sessions, and often buy therapy equipment.....all this costs a lot of money!! This page has been set up to help bless the family and show Joey that people are behind him to support all the extremely hard work he puts into his therapy each day. The money raised will be going towards his equipment and therapy.  Thank you soooooooo much for giving to this little boy Click to make a contribution.* Give however much you want.* All payments are secureThank you!

STRAY ANIMALS IN SERBIA NEED YOUR HELP

We are association of citizens Alfa from Belgrade and we have been taking care of abandoned dogs and cats for many years. We found homes for over 150 animals.We don’t have any means of financing except for good people who are helping us. Unfortunately, there is not enough of them and we find it hard to manage our expenses.At the moment we are raising money to pay for boarding houses for   20  dogs and one pig which costs about 650  euros, without the food. All the dogs in boarding houses were sick, hurt or taken from a shelter in order not to die there. Pig was save from floods in Obrenovac two years ago.Let me sort out some of them.Maki is a dog we found immobile in a ditch near the road. He had a broken spine and a bullet from a blowpipe. He is our miracle because he managed to walk in spite of that condition.We found Flekica (‘Little Stain”) as a puppy with the hard form of demodex (a skin condition).Vuka , Zuca , Brka , Viki , Pegica , Masa , Bleka , Pega , Meda , 3 Puppies , Stefi , Mirko , Crni , Milka , Lara , Flekica , Maki , Zuca2 , Cupko , Gile .We have more animals in foster homes , and we provide food for them.Therefore, we are addressing you with the pleading to help as much as you can. Out work is completely transparent, every dog can be seen and visited. Each of them deserves a chance to live, and we are asking you to help us provide them with that chance.Regarding our future plans, we need the money for sterilization of the dogs, in order to reduce the number of the dogs on the street. We need the money for the food for all the dogs we take care of. We need the money for paying veterinary expenses for the sick and injured dogs.If we had more means we could take care of more dogs and cats from the streets and find them real homes later on. We are very limited by the donations we raise through social networks, which are more than humble,so with your help we can do much more.

Improving Mental Health for the Poor in Cambodia

This page is to donate money to Prof. Alex Wood to help some of the poorest people in Cambodia to get better mental health care. The money is planned to be used as part of an ongoing project to improve the treatment of mental health in the region, or to be donated to a hospital which gives good healthcare to the poorest people for free (or at a cost affordable to them).Best value charitable donation - no middle menA key challange with giving to charity is knowing how much actually gets to where it is needed. Alex is able to personally take the money to where it is needed and use or give the money directly to the hospitals. No middle men, no employees, no advertising, none of the normal worries about the efficiency of charities.Our Mental Health ProjectImproving mental health services is a key health challenge for developing countries across South East Asia. Cambodia faces particular challenges following a genocide and series of wars in the 1970s and 1980s. During this period health care and university services were nearly entirely destroyed, including through a particular targeting of medical practitioners and academics for execution during the Pol Pot era. In the last two decades, Cambodia has made impressive efforts to rebuild its health and educations systems, including through the establishment of a basic infrastructure of hospitals, medical education universities, and aspirations to conduct international quality research. This has led to notable improvements in physical health as seen, for example, in arrested and declining HIV rates. However, mental health needs have been nearly entirely neglected, and the Cambodian population is largely without access to even rudimentary psychiatric or psychological treatments in both primary and secondary care, leading to several problems.First, rates of untreated mental illness are very high, with associated suffering and stigmatisation. Globally, the World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that depression alone causes more suffering than that generated by all physical disorders combined. This suffering may be expected to be exceptionally high in Cambodia as almost no one in the older generation will have avoided witnessing or experiencing highly traumatic events, and the younger generation will have been born and parented in the recent aftermath of the trauma.Second, mental health conditions are often miss-diagnosed as physical, leading to inappropriate treatment that both wastes resources and risks harming the patient through unnecessary treatment, which in many cases exacerbates the mental health condition.Third, the treatment of chronic physical health conditions is complicated through a lack of assessment or treatment of co-morbid mental health conditions, resulting in the physical health conditions being more difficult and expensive to treat, as well as causing a considerably worse prognosis for the patient. For example, key challenges of HIV programmes include; (a) missed appointments, (b) patients dropping out of the system, (c) the need to locate patients that have so disengaged, (d) lack of adherence to treatment leading to both the emergence of opportunistic infections and HIV medication failure, (e) the need to use newer, more expensive medication due to first line medication failure, and (f) erratic medication compliance risking the emergence of drug resistance at the population level with international implications. Much of these problems emerge from patient disengagement and non-compliance, a key predictor of which in other countries is untreated simple mental health conditions such as depression. Adding a mental health assessment and treatment protocol may both reduce these problems and lead to a net financial saving for the programme.The implementation of an evidence based mental health programme is not currently possible due to the near total lack of research on how to assess or treat mental health in Cambodia, and there is no current mechanism to disseminate new p

Help Malayan Tigers etc.

Hi everyone. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) says that I am a critically endangered species. There are less than 340 of us left in the wild, which means that Malayan Tigers could easily become another extinct subspecies of tiger. We need help urgently.So, let me introduce Emma, she is a High School Student in Bordeaux, France and she wants to help me. It is an overused word, but Emma is passionate about wildlife conservation. She also loves my neighbours, some of whom are threatened too:
