Thank you to all for your time, energy, running, knitting, donations and support for our work in Buckingham, Milton Keynes, Berkshire and with children and women in the Mathare slums in Nairobi, Kenya.
Thank you to Tracey, Glynis, Isabel, Sue, Beverley, and Julie for the knitting and so many baby hugs.
Thank you to Trish for constant donations and to everyone who gives their time and money to ensure that Fi Hugs happen to children. Every single hug makes a difference and cares as if Fiona was there.
We continue to work with Tushinde providing Fi Day Care and are working hard to develop a project that monitors nutrition in Fi Day Cares across the area.
Across the world,149 million children under five years of age are malnourished slowing their development and harming their health. This means they start life disadvantaged.
In Fi Day Care our research shows we prevent malnutrition through our food programme. With your support, we are making 30 children’s whole future much brighter and their families much healthier.
Ellie and Izzi ran in the Landmarks Half Marathon in London in April 2023 raising money for our Fi Day Care in Mathare.
We needed £3000 to fund another year and, through the sponsoring from nurses, police officers, friends and family, we raised well over that. 30 children and their mums will get the help they need for another year.
We do not have a place to run in 2024 (yet). Our mission to run (around) the world is therefore at risk.
So far our sponsored run around-the-world campaign has been in Zambia in 2019, New Zealand in 2020, London and Norway in 2022, and London in 2023.
We need a new course. All offers are welcome!!
