The health and well-being of our community starts with our young people and an important aspect of their well-being is ensuring they have access to good education with the best possible facilities. This is why we’re supporting The Pen Network, an independent charitable organisation that aims to improve the life chances of African children. Currently they are fundraising  for the Odoi Atsem Memorial Preparatory School in Ghana to help this school with much-needed infrastructural work.

The Pen Network is aiming to raise £3000. This is needed for the completion of the school’s infrastructure, including the roof, the toilet facilities and waste disposal system. The waste disposal system will help with the drainage of stagnant water, which breeds mosquitoes and increases risk of malaria. The children do not complain. They are happy to be at school, no matter what the conditions, but The Pen Network believes that by coming together we help them learn in a much better environment and are seeking your support to achieve this.

The Lake Foundation is supporting The Pen Network and is hosting a 4 hour cycling challenge on 29th April 2017.  Get involved in this fun fundraising event for a good cause. For more information on how to participate please email events@thelakefoundation.com
