Why 'Boo' exists...
The aim of 'Boo'
is to help children of Africa disadvantaged through
economic poverty. Help comes in a variety of means
- including food, shelter, health, education, life-skills
and emotional support.
What makes
us different?
As one orphaned youngster we met on our first
trip to Kenya said "Don't just give me a fishing
rod - teach me how to fish." Hence the overriding
ethos of 'Boo' will always be the provision of 'Opportunity
not Charity'.
Boo- a no frills, low cost charity.
We are not out to cause embarassment to other
charities but our low cost base enables us to give
more, for less of your money - direct to where it
is needed most.
