Since 2017, People’s Postcode Lottery players have been at the heart of what we do, helping to raise an incredible £15.7million towards our work for children’s rights and equality for girls around the world.

In 2020/21 alone, player support helped transform the lives of more than 248,000 children and their communities across sub-Saharan Africa and will allow us to reach thousands more.

Players have enabled us to make a real impact around the world, from protecting young refugees who have fled conflict and violence to helping children access the education they need.

"I won’t marry again until I’m ready and I’ve accomplished things in my life." - Nyamburi, Tanzania

Thanks to players of People's Postcode Lottery, we're building a brighter, safer future for thousands of children, particularly girls, in sub-Saharan Africa. 

Player support also means we can reach girls facing early child marriage and female genital mutilation (FGM) in Tanzania, so they can make choices about their future – aided by life-skills, vocational and sports training.
