Can you help our friends buy 900 chickens this Easter?
Orphans Know More assists African families who are fostering HIV/AIDS orphans and vulnerable children. Last year we also helped 10 Ugandan families start small income generating businesses raising chickens and goats to feed and support their children.
In the UK you can buy a chocolate Easter egg for £2.50.
In Uganda a family can buy a laying hen for £2.50.
Make your money go further this Easter.
To take part in the Chicken Challenge and give online click on the Just Giving link to the right of the page, or go to http://www.justgiving.com/orphansknowmore
Alternatively, you can send a cheque to
‘Orphans Know More’ Highfield Oval, Harpenden, AL5 4BX
Thank you and have a very happy Easter!
Once our goal for hens is met, gifts will assist more orphans and their families with education and other needs. 100% of your gift goes to Africa.
None of us needs to spend a lot on a hollow chocolate egg! This is a fantastic idea, so on Easter day, instead of the usual chocolate being given out my grandchildren & family will each have an Orphansknowmore card.

I presented this to a Year 9 class to support their topic on Suffering and they responded really enthusiastically wanting to know how they could send chickens to Uganda and whether they were ‘allowed’ to send more than one!
Come on teachers, get your kids engaged with this. The class was silent (yes they are year 9s as well!) whilst they watched the dvd and I didn’t have enough cards to go around those who wanted to become involved.
