Losing a loved one is a difficult time for any of us, but being a child and losing your parents who should be there to love, protect and guide you is devastating. Nothing can replace the loss but together we can help build hope for a better future.

There are over 243 million orphans worldwide. Penny Appeal is a humanitarian charity that provides help and support to alleviate poverty for children in need through various projects. One of the projects is to build an orphanage costing £40,000 which will accommodate, feed and provide an education for orphans.

As you would agree it takes a whole community to bring up a child and that's why we need the help and support of our wonderful family and friends to make this possible. Together we can make a difference in the lives of these needy children and help them build a better life.

Please help to give hope to the children of Gambia by making a donation, no matter how small and sharing this page with your friends and family.

We would like to thank you for taking the time to look at our page and hope that you could join us in making a difference to an orphans life. Let's be the reason for these children to smile again.
