Fundraising for Larchfield Charity Organisation

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

At the end of 2015, I decided to do something I never thought I would..climb a mountain. Mount Kilimanjaro. I’m doing it for a cause I really believe in – building homes for abandoned children through the Larchfield Charity Organisation.

I've created this page to take you on my journey and though I'm not great at social media, you can also follow me on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/AintNoMountain.Ara/) and on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/aint.no.mountain/.

Aside from the actual climb, I'm also raising money for the kids. If you would like to help in your own way, here’s where you can.

Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Larchfield Charity Organisation

In 2012, Larchfield Charity Organisation was established by James Berry working together with a philanthropic Tanzanian group as a Tanzanian charitable entity. Larchfield’s objective is to serve the desperate plight of the increasing numbers of Tanzanian orphans and children who have been abandoned by their parents and other family members through disease, or other incapacity to maintain the family unit. At present, there are only limited facilities in place in Tanzania to care for and educate these children in a suitable environment. A few children – if they are fortunate enough to be taken in by a foster family – only enjoy a second class status which involves being subordinate to and working for their host family. Other children, who are unable to find a foster family, are effectively abandoned, have to fend for themselves, and too often become victims of abuse. In Mkuranga district, one hour south of Dar-es-Salaam, there are numerous children in this position. The community and local government presently lack the resources to remedy the situation. To serve the needs of this district, it was decided to register a children’s home and school called ‘Larchfield’, to serve as a happy, safe and secure environment for Tanzanian children in need. The objective is to build and operate a purpose-built children’s home and school for children aged 3-16 years.
