The Boo Charity
Boo Charity is established to raise funds for the support of under privilaged and poverty stricken children in Africa. We have established a working project called "Seed of Hope" with Vision Africa. This is a college which has places for upto 120 young girls who are taught life skills to enable them to sustain life once they have been through a two year program of learning.
