Beyond Ourselves do an amazing & inspiring job. From the moment I heard about what Beyond Ourselves was doing in Zambia & how they do it, I knew this was the charity for me & my business.
I visited 3 of the schools that Beyond Ourselves built & paid for in Zambia in 2010, I can honestly say, it changed my life. It helped to see & understand what poverty really is. The children live in
compounds (townships), in makeshift homes, often sharing a room with the rest of their family or
someone else’s, as many of them have lost one or both of their parents to HIV, Malaria or some other preventable disease.
I am hugely grateful to Beyond Ourselves for doing what I would love to have done, for giving these
children an education, for giving them books, a school uniform, a hot meal every day, a monthly visit from a doctor & of course, for giving them hope! All for £12.50 per child per month!
Due to the generosity of people, the staffing of Beyond Ourselves is paid for separately so every
penny that is given through the sponsorship goes directly to the place you want it to go, to the children’s welfare, not to pay hefty administration fees.
Jodie, Karen and Diane do an amazing job running Beyond Ourselves here in the UK. Melissa, Dan
and Emily are on the ground in Zambia, their passion & drive is there for all to see. You couldn’t ask
for better, more passionate people to be running the charity.
Daniel, Gary & I support ten children through selling products we buy/blag or are donated, from our
customers. They are very generous & we thank them for their support. Please come & buy our products, we sell sweets, crisps, virgin olive oil to name but a few things on offer.
Please support Beyond Ourselves & look beyond yourself, £12.50 is a small sum to pay for the life changing affect you can have on the child you support!
