FINAL UPDATE: Our Footprints Live Web Event has now finished. However, all the photos, videos, testimonies from children, ideas for fundraising etc. are still on-line for you to view. Please walk with us by visiting our Footprints site here and see what Footprints you can leave.
On the 18th September we would like you to join us at Brooklands Church, Manchester, on a journey to see some of the footprints made by our supporters and project staff. We hope this will inspire you to look at your own footprints and see whether you are making a difference in the world.
If it does, there will plenty of advice onhand as to how you can work with Vision Africa to leave firm footprints showing that you are creating brighter futures for disadvantaged children in Kenya.
For those who can make it, there will be an opportunity to hear firsthand of the work that is being done by Vision Africa staff thanks to our supporters. Our Field Director Deborah Kimathi, and Chairman Bob Dowty will host an event in Manchester (UK) which will allow you to have a walk through our projects and see exactly what goes on at each one and the impact they are having on children from disadvantaged backgrounds. At the same time, there will be an online event telling you more about our work and bringing you updates from the most important people involved in Vision Africa – the children who are assisted through the projects we support.
What to expect on the day:
- Complementary Buffet Lunch
- Video and slide presentations
- Testimonies from children supported by Vision Africa
- Images introducing you to our projects
- Opportunities to hear from key personnel
- Artwork from various projects
- Ideas as to how you can donate time, skills or money to support our work

Footprints
Footprints – we all leave them as we walk around each day
But did you ever think to stop and see just what your footprints say?
On the path that life has taken you, when you look at what you’ve done
Can you see your footprints showing that you’ve really helped someone?
Have you given time, shared your skills, donated a coin or two?
Have you helped change the life of someone much worse off than you?
It doesn’t take a fortune to make some children smile
But the feeling that those smiles create will last you a long while
Many children need your help, there are simple things you can do
To make sure that your footprints say change was made by YOU.
Update: Location – Manchester, Brooklands. Start time: 12:00 noon. Duration 3-4 hours max.
