Only One

We were introduced to Potters Village two years ago, when my daughter spent three months volunteering there. She has just returned for her third visit and hopes to stay many months. I was privileged to visit this amazing place last year and it completely won me over to see these children who, despite their less than basic living conditions, were always smiling and happy.

Founded by Mama Jane Adu in 2000, Potters Village is a home for vulnerable women and currently about 100 children, many of whom are orphans. It relies mainly on donations from local churches, organisations and visiting volunteers and does not receive any government or other official aid.

Often, there is no food in the home, apart from some rice and other basic staples. It is clear that whilst the volunteers (mostly young people with not a lot of income themselves) are generous, it would be a major help if there was a regular income that could be depended on, however small.

I realise that there are many people who don't have enough money to feel that anything they could give would make a difference, so I have set up Only One Charity as a way for people to give as little as $1 per month.

You can make a one off donation via this site. Consider paying $12 so that you have covered the next 12 months, then do it again next year!

Please also take the time to like our Facebook page and help us to make $1 into enough to feed, clothe and educate these gorgeous children. There is more information and updates on Facebook.

All donations will go directly to Potters Village - the charity is run on a completely voluntary basis.
