After working for 11 years in Church of England parishes in the UK, I founded the RSVP Trust in 1998 - an international charity working in the UK and Africa, mostly in Rwanda. In partnership with our Rwanda partners, I set up a Child Sponsorship program that educated hundreds of children to High School level.  We provided 288,000+ meals for street children over 11 years, built a primary school for 300 children, and a home for 16 orphans. My colleague, Alison Fenning, set up a project for sex workers to exit the sex trade, and we also provided emergency food and bedding for families in extreme poverty.
