How you can help

Please tell other people about us - the more people who know about us, the better chance our children have of being helped. 

Can you collect pennies for us?  Get others to collect them for you too?  You could make penny pots to give out.  Just old yogurt pots or jam-jars.  Make labels to put on them ‘Children United! - please save your 1p’s for us!’ and give to anyone who is willing to collect their 1p’s for you. (If they want to give 2p’s or any other coins as well that’s fine!)  If your school is involved, have a box or bucket with a similar label on it at school to put the pennies in when you collect them from your friends and relations. When the box is getting full, I will come and empty it. I will let you know how much you have raised and you will be able to work out how many litres of milk / eggs / biscuits etc you have paid for.  Can you think of anywhere else that would have a penny collection for you?
 
What about having a car-boot sale?  A really good way of raising money.  Keep some of the money for yourself and send some for our children.  You can choose which project you would like your money to go to, if you want.  There are many, many ways of raising money for us - put your thinking caps on!  If you can get your school involved as well, so much the better!  You will then be featured on this website, so if you can send us a photo of how you raised the money, we can put that on the website too.

If you know of a primary school who would like a speaker on 'Christianity in Action' for RE or 'India' for Humanities, tell them about us and give them our website address:-  www.childrenunited.btck.co.uk

We also give talks to Ladies' groups, Church groups etc.
 


Direct debits.  I totally agree with all those who say of the adverts asking for standing orders of £3 or £5 a month, “But how do you know where your money is going and how much of it actually gets there?”  If you hear anyone saying that, tell them about Children United! Every single penny does go to the children and you can choose which project your money goes to or what it is spent on. 

£3.00 a month would pay for all 62 children at Karisalpatti to have an egg each month.  Four people doing that = an egg every week! Other prices for Karisalpatti - £2.58 for lentils, £1.72 for vegetables or £1.50 for protein powder.
