About Us

    The St George Foundation was setup as a result of an aid visit to Sierra Leone in early 2004. Hundreds of unhealthy kids, that we saw everywhere in the city, were mostly war orphans living off their own  wits, totally unloved and uncared for by anyone.

These children end up living off scraps that they beg or steal, or trade their labour or sexual favours for. It's commonplace for girls of 9 or 10 to prostitute themselves, exposing them to an absolutely deadly game of Russian Roulette played with the AIDS virus. They all get involved in petty crime and the community come to see them as a real nuisance and lose sympathy, trapping them into a life of misery.
They often don't eat for days, and the lack of a proper diet, lack of sleep because they never actually go to bed and the total lack of any adult supervision or education, their physical condition, their self esteem and their chances in life are gradually lost.
They didn't ask for their families to be murdered and their homes burned down, and for children of junior school age to have to live like this is absolutely wrong and to do nothing about it is even worse.
For less than an average British child's mobile phone bill we can take one of these children off the streets and start to give them a decent life.
If you care that children eat properly and get some kind of love and care, I'm desperate for the type of courageous people that are willing to stand up and be counted, willing to 'adopt' a child into their hearts with just a little love to spare and just a little cash.
Your decision could be a life changing moment not just for a child currently suffering alone on the streets, but for you as well. To totally turn around someone else's life is the most precious gift you could ever give, and quite possible the most rewarding time or money you ever spend outside of your own immediate family.
