We’re a crew from the Addington Community who really want to see people who are facing extreme poverty in Kolkata have opportunities for a fair chance at life.

We’re planning on getting together to bike 260km in one day - that’s length of the Hooghly river: the spiritual, economic, and physical heart of Kolkata. It’s a symbol of Kolkata, and for us, a symbol of the length and breadth of change we want to see in communities who are in poverty.

We’re hoping to raise $5000 to see lasting change in communities.

Every little bit helps spark good in Kolkata. Here’s what your donation can do:

$10 = a day out for one child

$20 = football club for one child (11 weeks)

$50 = language classes for one child

$100 = 3 months of Explorers for one child

$500 = a 3-year university scholarship

$1,000 = a year of hostel housing and schooling for a child in a dangerous situation

$5,000 = an overnight camp for a whole community youth group

In Kolkata, a lot of kids don’t get to enjoy just being kids. Poverty and modern slavery don’t leave much room for fun or joy in their lives
