“Bertie” the Landrover was bought used in 2007 when the ~Enable the Children~ project was still in it’s beginnings. Since then many bumpy miles have passed under it’s wheels, many smiles at our arrival, many children clambering on it’s bonnet and many costly mechanical repairs have taken place.

Some of our families live in the city of Freetown where the roads are busy and in poor condition, while many more live in outskirt communities where the roads are sometimes barely passable.

“Bertie” is essential in taking the team directly to the disabled children we work with in Sierra Leone, making most efficient use of our time and efforts.

Sadly, we have come to a time when we feel “Bertie” is costing too much to keep going and a better and more reliable vehicle would be a wiser use of money.

We are currently looking into the best way to do this: buying in-country – with less selection and premium prices; or importing one into SL –which may cause us headaches with unofficial importation and customs problems.

Either way we are needing to raise £6000.

This is where we hope you will help us.

With some individuals already pledging money, we hope more of you might be willing to do some fundraising…

There are some ideas on the 1^st page for you to get your creative minds churning…

But any idea, however big or small, that you can put into action will be a great help.

I am also available to come to any groups or meetings of children or adults to give a presentation so you can see the work we are doing which will surely inspire and motivate you.

Any money you raise for us will be a wonderful contribution towards the new car that we so desperately need.
