GENEVA/ABIDJAN, 18 March 2011
UNICEF is appealing for US$ 51 million to meet the rapidly growing humanitarian needs of children and families devastated by the post-election crisis in Cote d'voire. At least 60 per cent of the more than 300,000 Ivorians who have been internally displaced by ongoing violence and the vast majority of the 90,000 refugees, who have fled to neighboring Liberia, are women and children.
In any emergency, children are the most vulnerable. Over the next three months, this critically needed funding will help UNICEF continue to provide lifesaving emergency supplies and services to the increasing number of children affected by the crisis.

Linda Foundation

Latest Newsletter

We, as LindA Project, will continue on our chosen path. The fruits show it to be a good path, not always easy, but that doesn’t matter. We do not only give money, we try to mould a young generation of chanceless children into responsible and initiative adults with a future.
The LindA Foundation in Uganda is presently involved in 3 projects: The Children’s Home, the Primary School and the S.O.S. programme (Send an Orphan to School).

The CD 'This is who we are' by LindA’s Kids has received a warm welcome. There were many orders for more CD’s. If you would like to receive more CD’s, please contact the secretariat. We can now also be found on YouTube! You can find the link on the home page of our website.
The revenue of the CD’s is meant for the school fees of next year. These have increased enormously, as have the food prices.

Philippine Community Fund

The Phillippine Community Fund was started by a young Air Hostess, Jane Walker from the UK who was on holiday in the Phillipines in 1996 when she stumbled across a dump site where children as young as 4, some without shoes, were working searching for food or something they could sell to buy food. Their plight so touched her heart that for the next 6 years she personally funded a support network for them, but their needs outstripped her resources and in 2003 the charity was formed. Their aim is to provide education, nutrition, medical care, spiritual guidance and work for some of the poorer family members, they make jewellery and other items from recycled waste.

Madeline has a range of their products for sale and collects ring pulls from drinks and food cans, which she takes to their UK office, where are then sent to the Phillipines. They also offer a Sponsering option where for 18 gbp a month a child is put in touch with you and it ensures the child is supported.

This is a necklace made from recycled glossy magazines and is just one of the beautiful and unique items of jewellery available from Madeline's stalls or you can add to basket online at the website:

April 2011 update

Madeline would like to Thank all those who have supported the Phillippine Community Fund charity and am pleased to say from the Sale of recycled items, donations and charity events have raised over gbp 1300 since the launch last October.

Sadly, due to what seems a political issue, the Phillippines are refusing to accept empty crisp pkts and used toothpaste tubes into the country to be recycled so at the present we are only collecting the ring pulls from food and drinks cans...
Please continue to support this so worthwhile charity.

Easter Market

PCF will have a stall at the Easter Market at Prokris Park on the 20 and 21st April 2011 from 11am till 6.
A great opportunity to buy Easter presents for a good cause.
