These bags contain gloves, blankets, thermals etc as well as Christmas treats to make the season more bearable… whilst they continue to try to survive on the streets of London through the harsh weather conditions of winter. Please support us to help these Causes.

Zane and Kyzen Hosein are delighted to announce 'From Us to You''DetailsHi, we are Zane and Kyzen,Last year, we decided together with some friends, instead of spending money on giving each other Christmas presents, we decided to donate the money to the children and families who needed the help. This year we have decided between my brother and I, that we would like to extend this to other friends and family members. So instead of receiving a gift this Christmas we would like our friends and family to donate here and put a smile on someone else’s face who needs it more this year. Even if you don’t give us a Christmas present but want to donate, that would be amazing too!!!Thank you from both of us.About One Kind ActOne Kind Act Changes Communities and lives of others globally who suffer as a result of Poverty of Health, Nutrition and Education and may have Fallen Through The Net of the larger charities.

We are Batman and Robin Aka Zane and Kyzen. Snacks readily available and food on the table every day.

My name is Olivia.During these challenging times for all of us I’ve realised how lucky I am! To have my mum and dad working and earning money, to have a nice garden where I can go and chill out, to have nice things I can play with is great,  but I know that not everybody is as lucky and with the pandemic many people have struggled.That’s why I have decided I want to take part in the Gotham City Virtual Race with my friends Zane and Kyzen to raise money for One Kind Act. My Dad tells me all about the great things One Kind Act do as a charity and he is also doing a lot longer run than me to raise money for them. My Dad is making me go running with him to train which is a little scary!!!!I’m hoping that by doing this run I can raise a lot of money for One Kind Act so they can help the people that need it and those that are not as lucky as I am.I am going to train and run the 5K in my summer holidays, and maybe with Zane and Kyzen which will make it more fun! Please help me raise money to help those less fortunate. No donation is too small and everything you donate will go towards making someone’s life just a little bit better. Olivia xx.About One Kind ActOne Kind Act Changes Communities and lives of others globally who suffer as a result of Poverty of Health, Nutrition and Education and may have Fallen Through The Net of the larger charities.

One Kind Act, Global FICCS & Lentorre Lodge announce the launch of their Bug Off Malaria Campaign with immediate effect: MALARIA, The Ignored PandemicDetailsYou can hardly go a minute in today’s world without being bombarded by news about COVID-19. It has affected us all in one way or another, and there is no question that the impact is huge.However, as is the case with most crises, other important and immediate issues can get ignored. This is definitely the case with Malaria in Kenya right now. After prolonged rains in November, December and January, the rains have hit again across the country. This amount of standing water, especially in rural areas is excellent breeding ground for Mosquitos and the onset of Malaria.Some facts1. 16% of all outpatient consultations in Kenya are Malaria related, and that is only what is reported.2. Loss of Income: The effects of Malaria on households include economic pressure from having to treat the patient, because they cannot work. It is especially devastating to children and pregnant women.3. Limited Access: The knock-on effect is significant in small communities that do not have access to medicines and the infrastructure to help them recover, let alone prevent the disease.4. Prevention: Treated mosquito nets remain the primary first defence against the deadly disease.How can you support?One Kind Act have partnered up with two Kenyan-based organisations, Lentorre Lodge (www.lentorre.com) and Global FICCS https://www.facebook.com/globalficcs/) who have, for many years, been working with the Olkiramatian, Shompole and Entasopia communities in Kajiado county on various projects. These communities are located past Magadi Town, bordering with Tanzania. They have little to no infrastructure, medical facilities and resources.At this point in time, their need is great to combat Malaria and we ask you to join hands with us to ensure that they are not confronted by another silent and deadly killer.The goal is to distribute 4000 family size, treated mosquito nets and 1000 food packages, starting with those most vulnerable. Lentorre & Global FICCS will work closely with the leaders of the communities to ensure this reaches the right hands and they will be personally involved on the ground.The cost of each net: Kshs 400 ($4 or £3.25) and each food package: Kshs 1500 ($15 or £12.25)Please do support! Every donation means a lot to the families so that they can sleep protected and keep a normal semblance of life in these trying times. Small or large, every little bit will help.Thank you from everyone at Lentorre Lodge, Global FICCS and One Kind Act.About One Kind ActOne Kind Act Changes Communities and lives of others globally who suffer as a result of Poverty of Health, Nutrition and Education and may have Fallen Through The Net of the larger charities.
