Giving Children a Christmas
08th December 2008 - In 2008 Article 13 Group is celebrating Christmas by making a donation to a children’s charity, more specifically ChildReach which advocates children’s rights and poverty alleviation.Article 13 works in the areas of Sustainable Development, Governance and Corporate Responsibility, all of which have the overall objective of making a difference to social, ethical and environmental global justice. As part of advocating responsible business this Christmas, our donation supports an organisation that provides communities in developing countries with the resources they need to pull themselves out of poverty, and thus reduce child poverty.
The money is going towards one of ChildReach’s Challenge Events which supports innovative development initiatives in the global South. The project, Climb Kilimanjaro for Kids, recruits participants to fundraise money which goes directly to supporting children in the Kilimanjaro region.
For children to live without their basic rights is unacceptable in our modern, globalised world and by working in partnership it is possible to eradicate child poverty. We have set up Article 13’s appeal, which can be accessed by visiting https://secure.efundraising.org.uk/tailored/donation.asp?charity=73394
