Chilli Children Trust

Thanks to the networking joys of Twitter I’ve recently found out about the Chilli Children Trust.

It’s a fantastic charity working with disabled children in various areas throughout Uganda. As well as raising money to help with education, health and transport, the project teaches local communities about growing chillis for income. The money that the communities earn is then spent on providing better schooling, medical care and life skills for their children.

The charity recently put out a call across Uganda for children with cleft lips and palates and burn victims so they could offer them help and point them in the right direction for surgery. Because of Chilli Children, a group of young children will be operated on in August at the CoRSU hospital.

Using chillis to help those in need – fantastic idea!
