Steps For The Kids
Hi everyone we're taking part in the Blackmores Sydney Running Festival 2011 and hoping to raise much needed funds for Stepping Stones Nigeria Sydney.
This September, we're going to be sweating it out and doing our best as a team to complete a gruelling course over the Harbour Bridge, around Sydney's CBD and finishing at the Opera House steps. We're doing this all for the children in the Niger Delta in Nigeria who have been branded witches and wizards and are homeless. They need our and your help!
We are honoured to be a part of this amazing race and helping these powerless and voiceless children to live normal lives and to run to raise funds so that homes can be built for them. We'd really appreciate your support for us and ultimately the children.
ALL donations you give go directly to charity, so click on DONATE NOW!
Thank you for your support and helping to make a difference!
Stepping Stones Nigeria Sydney
Stepping Stones Nigeria, Sydney is a non- profit organisation dedicated to promoting and protecting the rights of vulnerable and disadvantaged children, such as the so-called child "witches" and "wizards" from the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.
Many of these children are left orphaned, either ostracised from their own community, tortured or killed. A deeply held belief remains within this region that these children have the power to cause diseases like HIV/AIDS, malaria, hepatitis, typhoid and cancer. All accidents, mental health issues, divorce, infertility and misfortunes are seen to be the handiwork of these so called "witches" and "wizards".
The actions taken against these children are a horrific abuse of children's rights. Stepping Stones Nigeria, Sydney desires to see these children receive housing, a proper education, healthcare, food and protection. The funds we work to raise are dedicated towards supporting these outcomes for the children and we need your help to achieve these goals.
