Abaana

Abaana is a charity run by volunteers, along with three full time workers, for the benefit of less privileged people in Africa. The word "Abaana" comes from a language found in the country of Uganda (East Africa) and means "children”. Abaana was set up in January 1998 and hopes to show young people that through sacrificing a little time and money, they can also get involved in making a difference.
