We've called the appeal Peru 140:1000 because if we can just find 1000 to donate £140 we'll potentially have enough to buy a suitable property and get started. If you can only give a small amount, that'll still make a big difference, so whatever you can manage please help us to do this. 'Stick by stick makes a bundle' they say in East Africa. It's true. The unimaginable is made possible if we all lend a hand. Thank you.
Deeply, deeply saddened by the BBC film " Worst place in the World to be Disabled?" just aired on BBC3, about Ghana, where disabled people are routinely abandoned, chained up, tortured, and disabled children are killed by traditional witchdoctors for a fee, paid for by their parents. This could have been me as a child, or Rosie, under different circumstances. Fact is, it's happening ALL OVER the developing world, that's why I set up Craft Aid, that's why it's so important the... Neema Crafts model doesn't just stay in Tanzania but is passed on to many, many more places. Neema Crafts doesn't just give training and employment, hope and dignity; crucially it's also *radically* changed attitudes to disabled people for hundreds of miles around. People with disabilities are now recognised as being fully human, full of potential rather than refuse, which is how they were seen before. If you want to help us pass on this model in Peru, where disabled people are still massively stigmatised, please do something about it and help us. Thank you.
