Welcome

The purpose of this blog is to pass on news and views relating to charity work being carried on in Shyira, a small village in North-West Rwanda. More specifically, it is intended to publicise events (usually running) being used to raise funds for Rwanda

I will publish anything I feel is relevant, and invite you to link through to the website of a small charity of which I am one of the founder trustees. I will give info on its work, on any new fundraising efforts, and will also give details of any forthcoming events and any achievements by the charity or any of our supporters.
Shyira Trust works to relieve poverty, promote health, and advance education in Rwanda, especially in and around Shyira.
This blog will report on many events and achievements, primarily, but not exclusively, those related to maternal health, midwifery training and safe motherhood.
Thanks - now feel free to see details of the work of the Shyira Trust, especially the work for the Maternity Hospital - http://shyiratrust.org.uk/Project_maternity.htm

Many of the 10000 taking part will be raising money for charity, and I'm no exception. Once again I'll be raising funds for Shyira Trust, a small charity I helped set up in 2006. Since then we've raised over £300,000 for the various projects we support. This year, I'll be supporting the building of a new maternity hospital for Shyira in Rwanda. The old one that we funded has been so successful, and has had such a positive impact on maternal health, that it is full to overcrowding, and requires a new building. Please help Shyira Trust to continue its great work by donating any amount, big or small, to this great cause. Every penny received by Shyir...
