Week 30 - Child's I Foundation

I have been enjoying comedian and TV presenter Richard Osman's "World Cup Of Chocolate" on Twitter over the last few days and he has asked for donations to this charity.  Child's I Foundation was started in 2009 by Lucy Buck.  Based in Uganda but hoping to extend to other countries, the foundation works to place orphaned children into loving homes.  They provide short-term life saving care and aim to resettle the children within six months.  They firstly attempt to trace family members but if no extended family can be found they then place them in foster or adoptive care.

In 2011 they started the Ugandans Adopt campaign and have so far found homes for over 140 children.  This is sadly just a drop in the ocean however in a country where it is estimated 50,000 children are currently living in orphanages.
