Last month I watched a horrific Dispatches documentary called ‘Return to Africa’s Witch Children’.  This documentary told the story about the so-called ‘witch children’ of the Niger Delta which really struck me because I’d never heard of this before.  Hundreds of children are cast aside each day by their families and communities due to them being branded as witches or wizards for no reason, or worse, are tortured by these same people.  

In the documentary I learnt how a small Stepping Stones, run by a British guy and his partner, are making such a difference to these kids’ lives and on a daily basis they take in kids to their rescue centre with the aim of rehabilitating them back into their communities.  

I’d really like to raise money for Stepping Stones via this run, so please give anything you can via this site.
