We owe some very big thanks to:

We had a fundraising and awareness-raising event at the House of Lords in May and so many thanks to so many people, but particularly our Patrons and Trustees and the support we gained from that afterwards. You can see some of the photos in our photo gallery.

The Joffe Charitable Trust has joined with Persula to help support our Imisebeyelanga project where we are setting out this year to train 90 community volunteers – see the news section, the story about this great project is there.

Huge thanks go to all the staff at The Gallery, [London Rd, Gerrards Cross. 01753 886977] who held a fundraising day in January 2008 – they all gave their time free so that customers could have a great day, donate the money to us and I hope they all had lots of fun. On this amazing day they raised over £1,800!

We received a huge donation from an anonymous donor just before Christmas 2007 and I can't contact you, so this is just to say a very, very big thank you

Our very grateful thanks go to the Persula Foundation who are supporting a major project helping to bust the virgin myth, and other myths, through a major training programme for 90 people in northern Gauteng.

Thank you again to Dr Chai Patel who has generously funded our promotional film - the short version is on the website here.

Rana Muller, who heard about our work through her daughter and set about getting lots and lots of support through her Facebook cause.

To the Open University for their support and collaboration in devising and co-funding a PhD programme.

To Dr & Mrs. C. Patel who have donated loads of money, and who really believe in what we are doing.

To Karen Woolley who has guided and chivvied to help us with all our governance arrangements

All the people who make small or large donations – your commitment really matters to us and to the children.

For all the emails and messages of support and encouragement.

The Allied Bank of Ireland from their staff care committee who donated so generously in December 2005 and June 2006.
