How it all started
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
In November 2005 Neville Brown visited Ghana where he witnessed much suffering and distress. Many children were alone and desperate living on the streets without regular food, water or shelter; innocent victims who suffer as a result of the deprivation Neville realised that without education and aid the children would not be able to break free from poverty. He realised that many projects working with the children lacked the necessary infrastructure that would be needed to make them successful.
On his return to England Neville discussed these issues with like minded people who together wanted to make a difference, and the charity was born as a tribute to African children.
