Pentney Pasta - raising money for hungry African children!

Hi. My name is Hettie and I am selling pasta for money to give to charity. The money will help children in Africa with no food.

The pasta is delivered in Balham on Sunday 15 September 2024 between 3 and 4 pm. Please send pasta orders by email (details at www.PentneyPasta.com) or by sending my parents a message.

It costs only £5 for an adult portion - once ordered please donate! Please visit www.PentneyPasta.com for more details!

I am doing this because I know how much they need me and I need them. Last time the pasta was DELICIOUS. Tutto bene!

Example charity projects your money will help fund:

PORRIDGE CLUBS (https://www.africanchildrensfund.org/)

Kenya was the first country African Children’s Fund worked in and since 2006, our name has become synonymous with our Porridge Clubs. These now run in over 10 primary schools in and around the town of Thika, and enable over 2,100 children to go to school every day instead of working, begging or scavenging for food on the street.

Through Watoto Kwanza - our Kenyan NGO partner - we provide participating schools with a basic kitchen, water and cooking utensils. After that, the schools receive a supply of Uji – a vitamin supplemented porridge – so the children can receive a school meal each day.

A daily mug of porridge has led Watoto Kwanza to report that:

Absenteeism has reduced by over 80%

There are fewer cases of children falling ill due to better nutrition.

Children’s participation in games and physical education activities has improved.

Enrolment within participating schools has increased.

Children are achieving better results in their examinations.

More students are continuing their education with over 90% choosing to enrol into secondary school upon completion of their primary school examinations, presenting yet more opportunities for a prosperous future.
