I visited Mbeya in Tanzania with Grassroots a couple of years ago and became aware of the the many needy children and that Grassroots can, and does make a difference.Grassroots provides education and healthcare for many, while for others Grassroots provides what's needed to stay alive! If we could raise £400, The Grassroots Trust could provide what is needed to help children like these get enough food in their bellies, healthcare and all they need to go to school for another year. If we raised more we could provide a school with a water collection facilty thereby ensuring clean water for whole school community.

Steelroots Youth Community in south-west Sheffield is running a Big Brother House to raise money to sponsor Tanzanian Young People through secondary school. The idea is for 7 lads (aged 16-19) to be secluded from the world for 5 days to maintain round-the-clock prayer and complete various fun challenges and tasks. Live footage from the house will be streamed on our website: http://steelroots.org.uk/big-brother every evening as well as recorded video diary entries and a daily update video of the challenges and journey of their enterprise.
The idea emerged from a realisation among the young people of the priviledged nature of their upbringing and the area they live in.
The whole community is using the Big Brother event as a way of raising a load of money to help enable other young people in a less privileged part of the world to have some of the same opportunities we have here in England.
You can meet the housemates and read more information - as well as the live stream page at http://steelroots.org.uk or our facebook page on http://facebook.com/steelrootsbigbrother - and follow our updates on http://twitter.com/steelrootsBB
dates in the house: 18th-22nd July
target: £1800 = 10 secondary school sponsorships for very poor young people in Tanzania more information here

Thank you for visiting our wedding list! We would love it if you could help us make a difference in Malawi.
Reading about Grassroots' work in Malawi we felt drawn to this nursery school where 81 children are given a start in life. When we asked how we could help Grassroots told us that the nursery desperately needs toys if they are to receive the educational stimulation and joy of life they should have. We thought that was a great idea!
Our hope is that our wedding list can raise £100 to buy new toys for these children. Please give anything from £1, or whatever you feel you can. Just click on the donate button and get ready to give your details and credit card info.
Putting more smiles on these children's faces would be the most special wedding present we could receive.
Thank you, Andy & Katie

"Hi Katie and Andy. Obviously you don't know us, but we think that the idea of a wedding list for Grassroots is a wonderful idea, and we just wanted to support you both. We wish you a very long and happy married life together, and we hope that you reach, and hopefully pass, your £100 goal for the toys for Malawi. God bless you both. Steve and Jackie
