The Penny Appeal way of doing charity is simple – they take small change and make a BIG difference with it. In a first for the organisation, they have announced their first South African comedy tour, Penny For A Laugh, to highlight and raise funds for some of their local projects.
Penny Appeal is a relief and development organisation providing aid to communities in need, while advocating and addressing the needs of marginalized groups. Penny For A Laugh, progressed by Blu Blood, has been inspired with the intention of raising funds for Penny Appeal’s local projects and creating awareness about the various thematic areas of focus under which they work.
“We’re very excited to be part of this tour because of all the good it can do – helping support orphans and health initiatives PLUS having a belly laugh in the process. What could be a more worthwhile exercise?” comments Riaad Moosa.
Proceeds will go towards various projects including Penny Appeal’s ‘Children of the World’ campaign. The campaign is focused on orphaned and vulnerable children, as well as marginalized communities across Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Penny Appeal provides support to such groups by sponsoring orphans, building orphan homes, providing access to clean water, and ensuring that communities have an opportunity to transform themselves out of poverty. Proceeds from the tour will enable the OrphanKind programme, which serves orphans and vulnerable children around the world and provides essential services including their mobile medical bus for South Africa.
