🌿 Help Send a Child to Camp — in Just One Click

We’ve just launched our project on Different.org — and there’s a super simple way you can help support the life-changing work of Bridges Retreat Centre.

Every time someone shares our project using the social media buttons on the page, Different.org donates R5 to Bridges.

It takes just a few seconds, but together these small actions can help more children from under-resourced communities experience the confidence, growth, and adventure of a Bridges camp.

👉 View and share the project here:

Please click, share, and help spread the word. Every share makes a difference.
