on a MISSION to CHANGE lives!!!

“Actions speak louder than words…” A well used common phrase urging one to put their money where their mouth is, but this time, not one but ten brave, inspired and a phenomenal group of young volunteers have done exactly that. On a mission to change lives, United 4 Change, through the Inspyire Program, have commissioned ten extraordinary individuals to one of the largest urban slums in Africa; the Kiberia Slums in Kenya.


The Inspyire Program, the mission trip offers a challenging and transformational journey for young volunteers and the opportunity to be physically involved in changing lives and awakening a sense of life purpose to orphans and vulnerable children, bringing hope and love. A journey also to inspire young ambassadors to be the leaders of change and setting an example to others that change is possible and every individual has the power in their hands to make a difference.

The count down has already begun!!! volunteers will be arriving on the 6th April 2011, the first ever Inspyire trip is the beginning of World Changers making history.




Through the Inspyire Program and this first ever transformational journey, United 4 Change aim to create leaders of change who are committed to using their time, passion and talent to make a difference and cause effective change to the lives of those who need it most.

Vital funds are still being raised through fundraising activities, donations and sponsorships from individuals. All money raised and collected will go towards the funding of the trip and research for resources and materials for building a Skills Centre in the Kiberia Slum for orphans and vulnerable children to learn a vocational skill to help themselves out of poverty. United 4 Change aim to establish a fully functioning Skills Centre by 2016.

Fair trade - Fair change

$250 billion. That is how much developing countries lost to falling commodity prices in the space of 22 years. Commodities are things like sugar, cocoa, tea and cotton. During that same period, the prices of those same items have gone up. The farmers/producers are being paid less (despite the rising costs in their own country) and the suppliers are charging more. Now when you see a global company announcing profits in billions, you know why.


Fair trade isn’t just about getting a better deal for farmers, but also a better life. For example no business using child labour or slave labour can be registered as fair trade. To add to that the fair trade organisations also build schools, medical facilities and other infrastructure for the people they buy from. Talk about changing the world.


You can be a part of that change. Fair trade items are sometimes more expensive than other products but it is for good reason. Imagine being paid £1 for 10 hours work. In a year you would have made £365 before rent, bills and food. Impossible right? But this is their reality. The extra 10 to 20p you pay for a fair trade product does go a long way and ensures a brighter future for the producers and their children. The next time you eat that bar of chocolate, or have a cup of tea you would know that you’ve made a difference. A world where your daily routine brings change to others is a beautiful one indeed.


Go for change, go for fair trade.
