The Story of a 'Tenner'

Once there was a crumpled ten pound note in someone’s pocket. They had forgotten it was there and now wondered what to do with it: CD, nice bottle of wine, flowers? Nothing sprang to mind and so the ten pound note stayed in that pocket during a party at a neighbour’s house. The owner of the 'tenner' heard about Joshua who lived with his Granny on Lingira Island on Lake Victoria. It was hard to understand how someone lived on less than 50p each day.

That ten pound note was sent to Joshua by Helping Hands. It didn’t look like a crumpled note anymore but it had changed Joshua’s life for the better. He was now worm free, much more energetic, safely tucked under a bed net each night and his ongoing eye infection had gone for good.

Ten pounds gives a child a fresh chance at a healthy life. It allows Joy to treat a new child for existing conditions and it means that Janepher can train them how to use the new bed net they will receive. Ten pounds gives them a 'helping hand'.
